Several shots missed a 44-year-old man early Thursday morning near Evanston Township High School, according to police.
Officers found the man while responding to a shots fired call at about 12:30 a.m. in the 1900 block of Dodge Avenue, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said. The man, an Evanston resident, told the officers someone wearing a red hooded sweatshirt fired at him from an Oldsmobile Cutlass.
The car, which was occupied by several other people, fled south on Dodge Avenue, Parrott said. Police found several shell casings on the scene, which is about two blocks north of ETHS, 1600 Dodge Ave.
Parrott said there is “no correlation” between the gunfire early Tuesday morning and a similar incident earlier in the week. On Tuesday evening in south Evanston, a man also told police he was shot at but not hit.
