Male shot, car sprayed with bullets on Ashland (Update)

Green VW hit by stray bulllets at Lunt & Ashland
(Oct 20, 2012/Rogers Park) - It looks as if CAPS Beat 2431 has gone into a war zone. Around 2:30 a.m., some trigger happy person shot up a dark green, 2 door VW convertible car at 6973 North Ashland. The bullets broke the driver's side window and two bullets entered rear side panel. Evidence stickers were placed under each bullet hole. The broken glass littered the street.

At press time no word of any arrests in the automobile shooting -- nor if there were any victim's or injuries in the reckless display of illegal gun-play. A case number has been filed. HV-526387.

UPDATE: 
Early Saturday in the Rogers Park neighborhood,a 34-year-old man was walking on a sidewalk in the 6900 block of North Ashland Avenue about 2:30 a.m. when someone inside a red sport-utility vehicle fired shots and hit him in the abdomen, according to Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer. More here.

Scary Stuff. So this happened on the West Side of Ashland just south of Lunt. Kindof crazy, I guess maybe a personal vendetta or gang stuff?

That was MY car. My insurance company doesn't cover gang warfare.

It happened on the east side of Ashland, right outside my house. It was terrifying.
