The weekend is almost here

Good morning, everyone, it's 6:44am. Thank god it's Friday! It's been a long and bit crappy week. Can't wait for the warm weekend. Well, I have to go now, so the list of crimes you'll see are from this afternoon. Have a great day and be safe!

3:10 to 3:20pm - The neighborhood has gone totally insane. I've got word of a shooting that just happened around Diversey and Ridgeway. Two men were arguing, then those men brought over friends and stuff. I guess a large fight broke out because I saw 20+ people walking west on Diversey towards Hamlin as I was coming home. My source also says they saw several arguments breaking out then shots were heard. This situation will be monitored very closely.
