911 Calls/Radio Activity From Kelvyn Park Incident Yesterday

Good morning, everyone. I now come to all of you, presenting the 911 calls and radio activity that took place on Zone 12, home to the 25th District, Thursday morning, January 10th, 2013, from the two incidents that took place at Diversey and Hamlin and at Kelvyn Park High School, 4343 W. Wrightwood, respectively. I started listening to the 911 tapes at 07:23 (7:23am) hours and listened through 10:30am. I listened to all of the activity that occurred. It should be noted that two, not one, bona fided incidents took place Thursday morning. Both were shots fired with a couple of 911 calls on each, and then led to a high speed chase throughout Logan Square into the Lakview community when State Police discovered the vehicle involved in the two shootings. I hope all of you find this post to be informative and that it gives you all of the details you want/need to know about this incident. Please do not hesitate to comment or email me with any questions, thoughts or opinions you might have (but do be forewarned, I will be highly moderating the comments for this post).

Again another dangerous car chase by those guys in 25. I thought there was an end to that nonsense?

FYI, two bad guys in custody and the .40 caliber weapon was recovered.

Tim,

Can't thank you enough for your service. I live a block away from Kelvin Park High School and you have been my only source of information every time something happens in my neighborhood. I hope people realize they need to help this school out and the students before something drastic happens.

Thanks again and keep warm.

Chasing and racing all for "one" gun? How many unreported accidents happened during the nonsense?

Jim, remember the female TACT car chasing a suspect & going around the Brown Line? They seem to end in more disasters than not.

Thank you for the information, anonymous 9:14. I stand corrected.

Anonymous 3:14, no problem. I'm sorry you guys were going through all of that trouble in the area and I hope things have gotten better. As for the school, I think it's really time we gather up people who live near the school and have a community Town Hall meeting to address the situation and to implement some solutions. Positive loitering wouldn't hurt either.

Anonymous 6:03, yes I do remember that chase. Btw, my name is Tim.
