CBS News reported:
Police said the victim was walking near the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday when the 23-year-old suspect shot him in the shoulder. About 20 minutes after officers arrived at the scene, police said the same suspect came out of an alley and opened fire on both officers and paramedics and hit an ambulance.
“I heard it had to be like two waves, maybe a dozen each,” said Marcia Lawrence, who heard the shooting. “You know, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. It was no mistaking what it was.”
