Two drive by shootings over the weekend bring the total from the past few weeks to at least nine.
On September 6th, around 2:30PM SPD responded to a call regarding a drive by shooting in the area of N. Monroe St. and W. Spofford Ave. Upon arrival SPD observed broken glass and eight .22 caliber shell casings.
Witnesses informed SPD of the following:
They saw a white SUV parked on Spofford Ave. with females in both the driver and passenger seat. They observed a grey sedan with a male driver and a passenger pull up near the white SUV. The passenger in the grey sedan got out and fired multiple shots into the SUV, shattering the back window. Both vehicles then fled the scene.
At this time the identity of the suspects is unknown and the victims have not come forward to report the crime.
