So, we'll tour the area and see if 18 comes up and then I'll get back to you in a minute. Alright, 10-4. 123 is giving us a slowdown, guys. Slow it down over for those shots fired at 618 South Wabash. Spoke to a few individuals, didn't see it shooting. Possible backfire from an exhaust.

TR is a 0860. Copy. Okay. And then, just give us a second. We're going to go ahead and add a note to disregard the additional notes that was put in the ticket. And then 1822, give us a second. 123, go ahead. That's clear. You can slow down over here on Harrison. We spoke to a few people out here, and nobody saw any shooting, but they did say it was possible. It was just a loud backfire from one of the cars in here.

20 Sam. 20 Sam. 23, sorry. I know you're on scene. Just letting you know, we just got another ticket stating that it's anonymous. The caller thinks there was a drive-by. She first heard five shots, then another 10. She did see a dark gray sedan looking like a sports car with a back window shot out for two other vehicles, but she's not sure if those vehicles were shot at or not.
