| Did the police camera at Morse and Ashland see the shots fired? |
After his major attention grabbing "Gunshots on Ashland/Morse" headline, his report he mentioned "Ashland/Morse or the general area." He wasn't so sure it was Morse and Ashland. He didn't actually see anything. He heard something.
It get's worse. More net-neighbors started yacking with each other, hearing different things, from a wide area of the north-side. The police must have been flying around the neighborhood looking for a ghost?
RPLover heard very loud "gunshots" from Greenleaf and Glenwood.
Angie heard "fireworks" at Lunt and Ridge.
CL in 60626 heard them too at Clark and North Shore. CL wasn't sure if it was "fireworks."
Sean in Lincoln Square heard 7 to 10 shots at Foster and California.
Keeks lives at Pratt and Ashland and heard a bunch of "fireworks," actually explaining the sound as "deep boom and had a crackle-ey-ness to them." Keeks was sure it wasn't "gunfire."
So, all these people heard something, but didn't actually go outside to "check it out." No one bothered to see if someone was lying on the ground, spilling blood all over the sidewalk. Or if a bullet hit a car or went through someone's window.
BLOGNOTES: After all the mayhem last night in Edgewater I turned off the scanner at 11:30 p.m., so I can't call it either way. But, this morning at 6:00 a.m., I walked from Lunt to Pratt on Ashland - and Morse from Glenwood to Clark.
I saw no yellow or red tape discarded in any garbage cans. Usually that's a sign of actual "shots fired." See, a fired gun has discarded shell casings - and the bullets they use in guns have to land somewhere. Thus, the police block off the scene with yellow or red tape and place little cards where the casing and bullets fall on the ground or land. Unless someone was shooting a gun with blanks, then you'd only have shell casings.
Everyblock is doing a disservice to the community by allowing bathrobe reporters to post disingenuous and and downright false information. It's a total shame some in the community buy into it.

I heard them last night too, but I live on morse and Ashland, and they sounded quite far away from my apartment. Also, those were huge sounding explosions like firework or demolition. There was no way it was a gun shot, unless it was a cannon...i don't think gangbangers use cannons.
A correction Craig:
Only semi-automatics leave shell casings, a revolver won't unless the shooter just opens up the gun & dumps them out on the ground.
As for the bullets, who knows were they could go.
They could end up a mile away if fired upwards at a 45 degree angle.
You're doing a disservice to the community by using fake accounts on EveryBlock where you were clearly kicked off a few days ago (again) and now using a fake account to snoop around. Your entire, pathetic blog is dedicated to harping on EveryBlock. If you don't like it, don't keep sneaking in. Let the cat people report about lost cats and the bathrobe reporters cackle in their sewing circle. But quit looking like a giant boob by screaming about a place you've clearly demonstrated you cannot function appropriately in. When you're kicked out of a bar, it's kind of pathetic to try and sneak back in through the back door.
Come on, Craig. Be brave and post ALL the comments you get. Fair's fair.
Thank you for the correction, Rebecca.
Aaargh. Perhaps I am missing something here. This is pretty much just a cut and paste reposting of what was on EB. This isn't news.
You spend an extraordinary amount of time whining about a website that you've been kicked off of several times. If you don't like it, stop sneaking in with fake accounts and copying and pasting threads as "news."
EveryBlockHead site is full of morons. But then, Rogers Park is full of morons.
BANG. BANG. BANG.
This is the "new normal".
Thanks, Rahm. Thanks, Garry.
Im sure not an oversight, but Ive never seen a gun shoot planks, Ive seen guns shoot at planks, Ive seen Captain JR make scallywags walk the plank as well.
Anons continue to post on my site how its wrong to ever question Everyblock which is news by hearsay. Well if Everyblock decided to fold up and quit there would be no need to ever criticize it. But since it isnt going anywhere, I really like your description of the posters Craig (PJ REPORTERS). A perfect description.
Meant to say
pretty sure it WAS an oversight, about the plank.
Ok, some people just like to be bullies, you mouth breathing cocktards.
Maybe it is a personal vendetta, but I know my interest in EB is the fact that it's popular yet the format is a incredible disservice to people who use it because of the other fucktards being keyboard warriors instead of using their eyes, ears, and brains.
Almost every single crime thread is derailed because somebody wants to enforce political correctness. I am really not concerned if some guy who robbed an old lady or stole a car is upset because we failed to make a specific distinction about exactly what ethnicity he was. I am not concerned about the feelings of bums who use our streets like a toilet. And so on.
Most of the criminals that prey upon us were born due to decades of unchecked liberalism, and all these assholes can do is just propose dumping even more money into pleasing these wastes of air.
These blogs like Craig and Jeffo run are different, they don't spend money advertising them and they spotlight what interests them, a lot of people, who are intelligent, find construction and economic development and infrastructure type things fascinating. Don't come here if it pisses you off. Craig and Jeffo are not jamming it up your ass like Everyblock does.
Come on Craig...
I heard it. Knew it was fireworks but I'm sure some people had no idea. Many people are simply going to call 911 if they hear some loud bangs late at night right outside.
Turned on my police scanner and within 30 seconds they had written it off as fireworks.
Greg you a dick i gonna throw rocks at youse.
Nice to see our violent threats being cast my way. You must be an Everyblocker?
aint you? lookin all the time at everybodys shit and gettin mad like a pussy. you some sort of hprocrate sick fuck? wha happen you fail a bidness you got handed o somethin? sad as fuck motherfucka. sad as fuck.
(kidding) That dude Oliver sounds like a dick too! But seriously, lay off the EB reporting and go back to what you do best and keep us informed of what's really happening. Sharpen that police scanner and go to town and report some news like you said you would. We're waiting!
You're all a bunch of assholes and dickheads. This blog is worthless and dumb. Quit picking on people you fucktards.
