Police Activity in the Neighborhood

We've had a spurt of activity in the neighborhood since last night. There was a shooting on Cassatt and Shirley, the news report is here.

Carla sent out the following via e-mail on 2 other incidents near her house last night:

Crazy night on Cedarwood and Pinewood tonight!
At about 10:30/11:00 Wednesday might there was a house fire at the corner of Cerdarwood and Lake Shore. Evidently, the lady who lives alone there set the fire in her kitchen (this is unconfirmed) but they did take her away in a police car. She is known in the neighborhood as a little ex-centric.
At about 2:00/2:30, I look out my window on Pinewood and the house across the street from me is taped off and 4 police cars are sitting out there and an elderly lady is being detained. I know she is the mother of the person who lives in the house and when I asked the officer why the street was cordoned off he just said it was a crime scene! I have no idea what happened there. I will not get any sleep tonight.
This is not an April Fool's joke!
Weird night, watch out for your neighbors.

Hopefully that spurt of activity is over and things will calm down again but we all should always watch out for ourselves and our neighbors. The more people who stay involved in the community the safer it we be for us all.
