Firefighters responding to a crash in the South Shore neighborhood found themselves under fire early Thursday, and their fire truck was struck by a bullet.
Neighbors near 79th and Yates were drawn out of their homes by intense arguing around 2:30 a.m., and then they became witnesses to a crime.
Police said the incident began with a two-car crash. An associate of one of the accident victims arrived on the scene, and began to fight with someone. That man returned to his car, pulled out a gun, and started shooting, police said.
