"It’s very concerning. It’s important that we catch the individuals who did this," says Constable Herman.
The constable is asking residents to review their home surveillance systems to see if they caught the criminals or their vehicle on camera. "Just arbitrarily shooting into people’s houses. We’re not going to tolerate that. We will catch these individuals and prosecute them".
The constable is also encouraging whoever’s wreaking all of this havoc to reach out to his officers before they find them first.

"If any of these suspects were together in a vehicle, and you want to call us you better do it because when we come we’re not going to be real nice because we’re dealing with folks that would do something like this," says Constable Herman. "So we’re going to handle them just like the suspected criminals that they are…if you were with your buddies, and you made a mistake being in the wrong place at the wrong time call us, let’s get this cleared up."
Investigators are reviewing surveillance videos and license plate readers from the area. Precinct 4 has also increased patrols.
