A motorist called 911 at 4:50 this morning after someone put the undesirable end of a 22-caliber handgun in his face at Halsted and Belmont.
The gunman, a black male wearing glasses and black shirt with white shorts, was last seen walking westbound toward the Belmont L station.
As officers spoke with the caller at Belmont, one of the officers saw a man matching the gunman’s description approach the intersection. That man was stopped, searched, and taken into custody at 4:59AM.
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.
Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
