"I door-knock. And when I door-knock, basically that is a squatter-house. That is not a resident that lives here. That's someone that took over someone's house without their permission and they stayed there. They do a lot of things that they should not be doing and it should have been taken care of sooner," said Tiffany Henyard, a Dolton village trustee.
A search for the gunman is ongoing and police are asking anyone with any information to come forward.
