Readers report:
“Sounded like 3 consecutive and then another 4-6”
“8-10 shots… loud bang… flipped car… cops arrive and let other cars leave the scene…”
“Had another shooting last night at 10pm at 4th and Delafield. Was pretty prolonged back and forth and they they sped off. Our car was shot this time. Not sure if anyone was actually shot (they usually aren’t, these guys are terrible at shooting), but this is starting to get tiresome.”
