* Shots Fired Near Howard

Hey Craig, Did you hear that there were gun shots fired Saturday night in the alley between Winchester and Damen in the 7500 block? Two cars were seen speeding away from the area, as were at least 2 teens. I heard the shooting may be related to disputes that occurred Saturday night at a big party at 7545 N. Winchester. I don't know what's going on. Do you?

All I can tell you is what Joe Moore tells us, Crime is down.

I'm new to the area (I live around Ridge and South), and so I was quite surprised to hear gunshots at about 12:40 AM early Saturday morning. I heard a quick burst of bullets...maybe 5 or so...followed by a few minutes of silence. Then there was another quick burst of bullets...again, about 5...and then the sound of sirens about 3 minutes later.

I've been trying to find info on this shooting for a few days now, but haven't heard anything.

Does anyone have anymore details?

I considered calling the police, but the shots sounded so far away that I couldn't even tell what direction they were coming from. I wouldn't have been any use to the police.

**Correction to my first post...it was early SUNDAY morning**

No word from Joe Moore or his propaganda blog-team, but Evanston is trying it's best to deal with the shooting. Here's what up.
