Twenty-five to 30 gunshots were fired. Cars parked on the street were also hit and some residents were left with cracked windshields and visible bullet holes. A woman living in the area for decades didn't want to be identified, but told ABC7 there are far too many guns in the wrong hands across Chicago.
"With all these guns... I'm gonna say this: You cannot say nothing wrong to nobody," she said. "We all should learn to love each other... care for each other... as God loves the whole wide world."
She called on Mayor Lori Lightfoot to do more, specifically on the South Side.
"They need to take all these guns... What's my mayor doing?" she said. "She don't even walk the neighborhood... she don't even have to walk it, just drive through the neighborhood."
At this point, police have not arrested anyone. Area one detectives are investigating.
