Update - 1:18 PM: Multiple Rogers Park net-neighbors are high-fiving and thanking each other on Everyblock because shots were fired this morning. Net-neighbors who warn people to move to safety from "The Jungle" are being no-thanked. Pretty sad stuff from our anonymous arm-chair community members who contribute to the gossip and speculation without facts on the internet.
Update - 1:20 PM: Solid reporting, not speculation and gossip like Everyblock dot com. Bill Smith from Evanston Now has the Evanston side of the story. Two nabbed in Rogers Park shooting near Gale School. Two schools in Evanston put on lock-down.
What Everyblock neighbors with real names are saying....
Shots Fired Jonquil and Ashland
"Just heard 4 gun shots at Jonquil and Ashland and saw a blue SUV speeding away. Last night heard 2 shots that also sounded like they came from the same area. I'm supposed to be walking past that corner in a few minutes with my 2 kids and don't know what to do!"

The heights of the mental illness over at Everyblock seem to know no limits!! Now they are "voting down" anything that anybody not in their clique posts.
I have an idea: If gangbangers like shooting guns, we can draft them and send them to Iraq, Afghanistan, anyplace else that has oil we want, I mean, fighting the terrorists. Should be no shortage of them for quite awhile.
agreed cznmbr1,
The voting down stuff at EB site is a bit ridiculous. There are some NOH peeps that are very cliquey and vote down certain people all the time. No matter. Thats okay, they mainly prefert to discuss national/political issues then important local issues
