A Chicago Fire Department firetruck was struck by a bullet early Thursday when someone opened fire following an argument about a crash in the South Shore neighborhood.
Fire crews responded at 2:23 a.m. to a two-car crash at the intersection of 79th Street and Yates Boulevard when an argument broke out between the parties involved, according to Chicago police.
A male, who was called to the scene by someone involved in the crash, grabbed a handgun from his vehicle and fired shots into a crowd, police said. One of the rounds damaged the windshield of a responding firetruck. No one was injured.
The shooter was taken into custody, and the handgun was recovered, police said. Charges were pending.
