The cold weather today hasn't stopped the activity in some places. For example, at Armitage and Western, there was a shooting a little over three hours ago. That area's been having lots of problems lately. To make a long story short, this hasn't stopped the guys at Wabansia and Western I guess.

The cops that do this handshaking and messing around business with these guys should be reported. I would take down their vehicle number the next time they're seen doing this. This is just unacceptable. But then again, it's a regular thing with most of the 14th District cops. Most of them don't like doing their job and don't care about the citizens. I'm guessing the cops you saw yesterday must have been an exception to that. I'm glad those cops arrested those guys.

Hi Timmy, was the Armitage & Western shooting gang related? And did police get shooters from the van? We just moved a block from there so are curious. Thank you, btw. excellent job!

Anonymous 9:41, there were people taken from the van and arrested. And, the shooting was most likely gang related. There was a shooting right down the street just last week. There's been a lot of activity in that area lately.
