"Timothy from the Avondale and Logan Square Crime Blotter here. I wanted to let you guys know that there were a few calls for gunshots going off in your community, about 15 minutes ago, when I was listening to Zone 2 for a few minutes. The first two calls came in at 1325 West Wilson at about 7:05pm for six gunshots with someone screaming. Then a third call came in about four minutes later at Leland and Beacon for one gunshot. Units #2311, #2312, #2313 and a Tactical unit responded to the calls and said they didn't see anything, although someone did wave down #2312 to tell them that there was gunshots at 4650 North Malden also.
I'm thinking some of your readers will probably have more information, but I wanted to relay this information to you from the police scanner."
Lots of cops responding... that's a good thing. Reports of shots fired... not good at all, particularly with lines of people standing around the Riviera wating to get into the concert.
It's weird I didn't hear anything as I live near that area (and was home at the time). Are there any more details on this? Hopefully no one was hurt...
ReplyDeleteI was very close to this intersection and the time of the 911 calls and all I saw or heard was a police car respond with it's lights on but no siren. I heard did not see or here gunshots or anything else out of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteI live on Malden and something definitely happened at that address (I heard one loud bang). Then, the fire department showed up and were in the building for a short period. I'm not an expert on gun shots, so I can't speculate. I figured I would find out something more about it on here.
