* Shots Fired - With Bonus Coverage - Hold Up

Reader Submitted e-mail:

Four shots heard on Ashland in alley between Ashland and Paulina, Touhy and Estes at ~ 12:30 a.m. Thurs.  No other sounds.  Looked out windows, saw and heard nothing.  Approx. 5 mins later police all over the place. Bus called, sits in alley for long time, eventually leaves but no sirens. (Does that mean the vic is dead?)  Crime scene tape extended all around parking lots in alley.
 
I would have gone out to take pics but am in jammies, and, well, there's some creep running around with a gun.

Reader translated crime: Tourists Held Up at Knife Point

Tuesday early morning - 2ish, in front of the Heartland Cafe. Two, what seemed to be Dutch tourists, were held up at knife point and had their money and passports taken. Very little details. After all, it was two in the morning in front of the Heartland Cafe.

Ashland alley shooting really did happen and police can be called to verify (besides which any number of residents heard it; it was hard to miss). As to the victim, we learned this a.m. that he was shot in the leg. He claimed that the shooter tossed the gun and so police were looking for it.
