Lauren, yeah, that shooting happened right where I'm standing, just
feet from several businesses here that were open and serving customers.
At least 30 gunshots were fired.
Take a look at this video there that was provided by one
of the business owners from the taco restaurant where this happened.
This was on October 10th.
You can see two different groups there appearing to fire shots
at each other after one person yells, quote, what's all this
It happened around 8.30 that night, near 18th and Ada.
And it's now left some business owners with serious concerns.
The shooting happened right behind a taco restaurant.
The owner says he had just closed for the day, but some of his workers
and staff were still out front when those shots were fired.
He says his staff was uninjured,
but it's unclear if anyone else was shot.
Unfortunately, he says these things are common here.
Crazy, huh?
Yeah, it's nuts, back in the 90s, that's when I was a kid growing up.
They had certain kind of guns on the streets,
but now it seems like it's like we're in Iraq or something, right?
I don't think any, you can't put this any blame on any politician
or any alderman or this is Chicago.
This is what, unfortunately, this is the way the city is.
And we did reach out to Chicago police for more information about
the shooting, but we have not heard back.
We did, however, speak to several businesses owners here in the area.
They do tell us that police officers
and detectives were out here in the community
asking for some of that surveillance.
So it does appear, Lauren, that they are looking into this.
All right, Leslie, thank you so much for that live report.
