Memorial Day, 2011

Good morning, everyone, and happy Memorial Day to all. It's 9:13am. As you know, today is a holiday when we honor our troops fighting the wars for us and the ones who have fallen to serve and protect us. I do celebrate it to an extent, I admit, but the main reason why I'm happy is because of the extra day I've gotten off from school. So anyway, this week, it looks like I don't have anything to do besides go to a party on Friday evening, so this week will be nice and relaxing for me. Lastly, I'll be monitoring 25 today until my dinner, and so on that note, here's crime for this morning and this afternoon.

9:47am - Parker. 2803 N Ridgeway. Bunch of permit parking. I didn't call this in.

12:28pm - 1) Parker. On 2525's Beat. 2) Beat 2562Adam is getting a narcotics call on the PDT.

12:44pm - Battery in progress. Cortland and Harding. People fighting just west of Harding on Cortland.

12:58pm - 1) Burglar alarm. 3654 W Diversey. 2) Disturbance. 19XX N Harding. People arguing in front. Probably related to the fight called in at 12:44.

12:59pm - Reckless driver. Karlov and Belmont. Car with a plate of 7249885 hit some parked cars and fled towards the METRA tracks on Belmont.

1:16pm - Beat 2593 is running a plate at Palmer and Kedvale.

2:14pm - Shots Fired. Armitage and Pulaski. Four heard.

2:25pm - Information for the CPD. Central Park and Fullerton. Traffic lights are stuck on red.

2:48pm - The 2:14pm job is bona fide, and someone's been shot. A male in his early 20s was shot at 4038 W. Armitage, where the crime scene is. The victim has been taken to Illinois Masonic I believe. The reason why I didn't cover this at first was because the shooting was said to have occurred on the 1900 block of N. Karlov, which isn't in my coverage area. 2524 is doing the paper and 2542 is on the crime scene.

3:23pm - Beat 2593 gets some parkers on the PDT.
