Cars were crashed by the vehicle as it was speeding by, and about 10 shell casings were recovered. It occurred all about 11 PM. There is no question but this is probably related to the ongoing gang/crew feuding that we have been tragically experiencing since October 1. The intended victims appear to be the crew in the area of 14th and Girard. Work is ongoing to secure a cease fire in the feuds between these rivals. No was injured, and there is reason to believe that the police have suspect(s). A badly damaged vehicle apparently sued in the shootings was recovered. I will provide more as the facts are released. Let me add a commendation for the Chief and MPD for the fine work over the weekend with All Hands On Deck. It was great seeing all of the officers, and the cadets, in our neighborhoods! I am sure it made a huge difference. Bests Councilmember Jim Graham I typically answer emails before 9 AM on weekdays.
