[Mintwood-place] NEW UPDATE--Man Shot after all/No One Hurt/Gang Shots at 17 & Euclid/Van Recovered?

[Jim Graham]

Dear Friends:

Yes, MPD now reports that there is a victim in the shooting An adult male from the 2500 block of Ontario was shot in the leg and then apparently drove himself to Holy Cross Hospital (now receiving medical treatment).

Further news: MPD reports that the Crime Camera at 17 and Euclid apparently shows the victim (and one other man) and the shooting. The extent of the clarity will be determined shortly.

More to come, Bests Councilmember Jim Graham

Here is the Update from MPD:

The now secured vehicle is a white Expedition (which was stolen), used at 17 and Euclid and abandoned at 14 and Girard.

MPD has a bead on a young male who was seen running from the van, and they are proceeding to find him.

All the impacted gang feud areas will have extra MPD coverage tonight to guard against possible retaliatory actions.

Please pass on.

Bests, CM Jim Graham

Dear Friends,

Right in front of an MPD crime camera, and in the middle of the afternoon, shots were fired at 17th and Euclid from what has been described as a grey or silver van. It all happened about an hour ago. The vehicle itself might be the same vehicle that was abandoned about the same time at 14th and Girard.

No one was hurt.

I have just returned form the scene, where I was joined by ANC Member Wilson Reynolds.

With this shooting, the relative calm in the last few weeks in feuding between several crews---17th and Euclid; CTU/Girard; Hobart Stars---seems to have come to an end.

Reports vary on the number of shots fired, from 6-9. Police told me that most of the shots appear to have hit the pavement going west on Euclid. Target is unclear, but some reports are that several people (who fled) were standing in front of 1701 Euclid at the time.

We have also been enjoying relative calm on that very corner, compared to what it was like a year or so ago. The crew that gathered there for many years has been largely dispersed to points elsewhere in the city.

Police are examining the silver van at 1432 Girard, and of course, hopefully, the findings of the crime camera.

More information as it is revealed. Please pass thsi along.
