Disturbance @ Koz Park Pool

Good morning, everyone, it's 6am. Yep, I'm up early. That's because I have to attend a hearing this morning in the Loop regarding Danny's Liquors (Milwaukee and Ridgeway). The hearing is at 9am, at City Hall. After that, I think I may have some stuff to do before heading home, and when I get home, I'll probably nap for an hour or two. So I probably won't be back with the blog until about 2pm. Anyway, it's cloudy right now, with temps in the upper 60s. Today it's supposed to be in the mid 80s with severe weather, including possibly some tornadoes. So be careful. With that, here's crime for today.

4:55 through 5:20pm - CPD is on scene, still talking to people. Looks like this was a fight involving a large number of teenagers from the block, and gang members, as well as others who don't live here. Nevertheless, a crazy fight indeed.

4:15am (approx.): Shooting in the alleyway south of Belmont between Lawndale and Monticello (approx 3641 W Belmont). Not sure what happened because I called the police and went back to sleep.

There is a gang house nearby though, as I have witnessed gang violence in the past. The gang house is on the south-east corner of Belmont and Monticello. It is a light blue, multi-unit building. The gang related unit is the door on the west side of the building (the Monticello side) that has a white cross painted on the window. Are the police aware of this house?

I heard this too! I couldn't sleep and was lying reading, and heard five shots. Not sure what happened either, thought I was imagining things at that time of the morning.

Would it possible to followup with some of these calls, in case they are bogus or no one is arrested.I know people have issues with address posting and perhaps this is why? You are not necessarily guilty of a crime just because the police are called. This issue may not go away because it could, in fact, become a liability issue for you. IMO speak with an attorney regarding your blog. Do not speak to a CAPS officer. I respect what you are doing but I just provided you with some free legal aid.

11:59, you want him to post your address when you and your mate have a domestic so your neighbors know your business?? What you provided is not legal advice, it's liberal propaganda that what Timmy hears on a police radio and dissemintates to you is your business. It's not. Timmy is not about to post that beat 25xx is doing a sex offender check at a certain address because, frankly, you could find that out yourself using this great tool called the Internet.
