Shots Fired Outside Uptown Sporting Goods Store

No injuries were reported when shots were fired on a bustling Uptown street corner Saturday afternoon, police said. No one is in custody.

Witnesses said the shots rang out after an argument inside a sporting goods store spilled onto the street at 4601 North Broadway around 3:40 p.m.

The participants were three tall, skinny black men, police said. One ran southbound on Broadway wearing a white sleeveless shirt and blue jeans. Two others fled north: One wearing a white shirt with orange pants and another whom police did not describe further.

A developer last summer proposed replacing the one-story City Sports building with transit-oriented apartments.

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.
