1/2 The shooting in Edgewater was near 6200 North Glenwood, but not on it. Some info from Chicago Police scanner traffic: Official address is in middle of the 1400 block of West Thome Ave. 2 males shot, one shot the other; witness told 911 the shooter then turned gun on himself #ChicagoScanner

2/2 Shooting calls started coming in at 7:19 a.m.; one caller told 911 a man in black (no further description) shot a man with a dog and then turned the gun on himself. Man with dog believed dead, shooter in bad shape, cop on scene told dispatch. Both were taken to St. Francis/Evanston via Fire Department ambulance. Caller heard someone say “What’s wrong with you?” and then shots were fired. Nearby schools were not locked down, because both involved accounted for and gun taken into evidence at scene. #ChicagoScanner
