Police this week sought surveillance video after gunshots rang out during a fight near Windy City Gyros, 3932 North Broadway, early Monday. No injuries were reported.
Residents and witnesses reported hearing between three and nine gunshots around 1:30 a.m. and cops soon determined that the incident took place in the restaurant’s parking lot.
Witnesses said that a large group began fighting in the lot when one participant pulled out a gun and fired.
The person with the gun fled north on Broadway in a red vehicle, police said.
