• 23rd/Union shots fired: A volley of gunfire rang out Saturday night just after 10 PM in the Midtown Center parking lot at 23rd and Union. There were no reported injuries but residents in at least two houses in the area reported that bullets may have struck their homes. One report came in to 911 from a home across from the center while another was reported at a home two blocks to the northwest. Police found “multiple” shell casings near the retail stores in the parking lot and were looking for two vehicles seen leaving the area following the shooting. Both vehicles were described only as a red and a white older sedan. The shooting took place only yards away from one of the surveillance cameras placed in the area by federal agents in an effort to quell gun violence. UPDATE: We asked ATF about the incident. “We will not acknowledge any active investigations and would not comment on them,” an ATF spokesperson replied.
