Shots Fired "Near" the Police
Yet another "mass shooting" it the busy part of town:
Four people were injured early Friday when multiple gunmen, including at least one wielding a rifle, opened fire along the iconic Division Street nightlife corridor, according to preliminary information collected by CWBChicago.
Chicago police officers, including more than two dozen probationary officers, were already stationed in the area when the shooting occurred around 3:48 a.m. Officers said they saw gunmen in two vehicles unleash a torrent of gunfire down Division Street before speeding away.
Police first spotted the suspected vehicles about 15 minutes earlier, around 3:31 a.m., when a gray Acura CL and a black SUV believed to be a Jeep Grand Cherokee were seen racing south on State Street from Division. An officer said the two vehicles continued circling the neighborhood for several minutes before the shooting
Gee, just a mile away from July's actual mass shooting where four were killed at a rap album release party.... which was also the scene of a previous shooting the year before.
Anyone know what those two dozen PPOs think about all this? They sticking around? Asking for the pension fund.
