I can't tell the difference between random drunk fighting and situations that might result in shots being fired. I also heard the shots on Buena recently. And two weeks ago, my car was vandalized, which isn't a huge deal, but isn't great either. I have lived here for over a year as a single woman, and always felt safe as long as I don't walk north to Wilson at night. Between the fighting and the shooting, I no longer walk around carefree. kidsparrow37https://www.blogger.com/profile/05193648711744132434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-21001547054493505432015-11-14T20:17:56.736-06:002015-11-14T20:17:56.736-06:00We need a neighborhood watch.

And I happened to have just left my apartment 849 just minutes before the shooting occurred. This is a neighborhood will MULTIMILLION DOLLAR homes... this shouldn't be happening. Fortunately we also live in a neighborhood where people aren't afraid to tell the police EXACTLY what they saw. I believe that is the main difference between a "good neighborhood" and a "bad" one. Apathy will be the deciding factor on whether is was just a 'one off' or it becoming a regular occurrence... like Wilson or Lawrence.

Not subsidized housing although if someone wants to pay for half my rent, I'm totally open. I came home around 4:30 and the glass was still shattered. I left again around 7:00 PM and it was cleaned up as normal. The email was the vaguest thing in the world so we don't have any more news. Looking around online for a police report so we know the threat. Everyone in the building is a young professional, young families, college students or elderly residents who have been here for years. Most people are gone from 9-5 for work so it makes sense that it would have been an outside intruder. The only "security" guard that I've ever seen works Thursday night and Friday night and couldn't protect a damn fly. I doubt they'd give him a gun.

Lia...In response to all comments (chronologically)<br /><br />Lianna: No. It is not a HUD subsidized building. As stated later, everyone is decent. I myself am a recent college graduate from DePaul and while I could technically live in low income housing despite my dismal income, I am educated.<br /><br />Unknown: I do not believe that security guard works here anymore. Regardless, the security presence is terrible for the building.<br /><br />Mary H.- I agree, and you are correct.<br /><br />Scott: I had a similar experience. It was later confirmed with an officer I spoke with that the individual was shot in the hip and in stable condition being questioned.<br /><br />Kyle: Correct. <br /><br />Bluestreak: Correct.<br /><br />Kyle: I absolutely agree. The email was vague and only referred to damage having occurred to our front entrance. Not mentioning the fact that AN INDIVIDUAL WAS SHOT IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE EVERYONE USES ON A DAILY BASIS. <br />I was at target (no pun intended) getting a few things at the time, but had I come immediately home from work I would have been in that pocket of time it happened. <br /><br />Katie: I have a text from my girlfriend at 2:16pm who was in my apartment at 833 the time stating, "Thought I just heard 7 shots just now."<br /><br />Unknown: Cool.<br /><br />kidsparrow: It does get annoying and the security guard in fact does party with the people sometimes. However this thread is about this shooting and further security of our residents and the block, not minor nuisance relating to it, albeit related in a sense. <br /><br />My opinion: We, as residents of this building should accept nothing less than a FULL explanation from Karen or whomever is responsible to tell us once details are in. Our main entrance was shot in. 7 times. This shit probably is still probably rare for even housing in bad parts of town (excuse me if that sounds ignorant). <br /><br />I am not going to accept that email as the final means of communication we get about this. <br /><br />Was this person a resident and randomly targeted? Does this person live in our buidling? Do they have friends still affiliated with gangs living in the buidling?<br /><br />Let me put it in perspecgive for you: We have a lot of cute little toddlers walking around in this building. Who are being raises here. Seeing those shots and the trajectory of the bullets and given that the young adult was shot in the hip....well...that makes it head height for a little one. I don't think we should go up in arms here, but I hardly think being apathetic is an appropriate response either. <br /><br />By the way, two weeks ago did you all hear the five shots that rang out on Buena in the late night/early morning time? After I heard it I looked out my apartment window to see a silver hatchback backing up and picking up an individual who hopped in. <br /><br />We need to come together as a community and especially as a building. <br />qtaltiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120137687813731101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-76733320775643840272015-11-13T23:27:32.474-06:002015-11-13T23:27:32.474-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.kidsparrow37https://www.blogger.com/profile/05193648711744132434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-85417935512963251022015-11-13T21:38:49.879-06:002015-11-13T21:38:49.879-06:00I'm grateful for this update.

My roommate and I were home this afternoon at around 2:30 when we heard seven gunshots. A few hours later we went downstairs to find much of the glass in the entrance was shot out. I talked to two police officers outside who said a gang member was visiting the building, another gang member happened to be driving by and saw the other person entering the building, and shot at him. I asked if the person was OK and they said he would "probably be fine."Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136590503125161680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-5440374931027861052015-11-13T21:08:41.180-06:002015-11-13T21:08:41.180-06:00While this isn't a normal occurrence around he...While this isn't a normal occurrence around here I would still like to know what happened.

These are one bedroom apartments, very few kids and no teenagers. We also don't have an armed security guard. <br /><br />I came back home while the cops still had the block roped off, and it looked to me like someone kicked out the inner glass partition of the lobby trying to get past the locked security door. The police said someone was shot (and it looked like the outer door had been shattered by a gunshot), but I'm guessing they don't live here, but were either trying to get away from someone by entering our building or were breaking in from some strange reason.Scott Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239391361895323698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-11676652143088485602015-11-13T19:50:18.164-06:002015-11-13T19:50:18.164-06:00833 is NOT subsidized housing, and there are no &q...833 is NOT subsidized housing, and there are no "people inside who have children in gangs".
