Well it was extremely crazy on the east side last night. The east side has been known for many years to be a WAR ZONE. The vast majority of the violence in this city takes place on the east side. So last night my partner, sgt, and I are working a major case on the east side along with the rest of our squad. We usually work off of our own channel, and someone in each car will monitor the eastern dispatch channel. About 4 hours into our shift, just after dark, Eastern District Patrol gets real BUSY....call to call, non stop. During the course of our investigation around 2030 hours we here about 15 shots ring out to our north East, a few blocks away. We start heading in the direction when patrol gets dispatched to a shooting. Arrive on scene 2 down.....2 doa. Execution style, up close and personal. The one guy was wearing a ball cap, and the only thing left of the hat was the bill, so you can only imagine what his mellon looked like. His body looked similar. We assist patrol, do an area canvass, and clear up in about 15 minutes, and back down to where we were working our investigation. about 5 minutes later a call for a cutting comes out one block south of our location. Arrive on scene, shorty caught two in the left side chest, life threatening. About 30 minutes later, they have a double shooting about 12 blocks east....You guessed it.....2 doa! Not as brutal as the first, but they got the job done! About two hours later ED get dispatched for a double shooting....One got it in the leg, the other in the hand....
So how was your Friday the 13th??????
Stay safe,
Sean
