Shots Fired Reports

[Micky]

We've seen lots of marked and unmarked cars in increased numbers on the South Side since zero tolerance went into effect.  An elderly gentleman told me that he was followed by a cruiser from Midlothian onto South Ave late last night.  He said he didn't mind and even felt a little safer. 

We think the gunfire has decreased a little however we think that it might be just a lull until the criminals feel more brazen again.  Hope not!

Can tell you that we heard 6 shots last night about 12:30 in the general location of Hilton.  Can't tell how far they came from.
I can tell you also sine "zero tolerance" went into effect, I haven't seen any patrol cars in my area- I would one at least a couple times a day.  And a bullet hit my house, came through the wall and was found less than a foot from the wall. The police filed a report but we don't feel safe.

With the increased police enforcement and the cold weather, have the reports of shots fired decreased in the south side hot spot?
