Anthony Kossler was playing a video game and talking to friends online early Friday morning when he heard shots outside his Oak Park condo. Blaring police sirens came only minutes later.Someone had just shot "like a 9-mil or something," he told his friends."I heard the shots, and I immediately knew what they were," Kossler, 42, told the Chicago Sun-Times.Around 1:20 a.m., officers responded to shots fired at 651 South Blvd. and found a man laying in the street with an apparent gunshot wound just west of Wesley Avenue, Oak Park police said. He was taken to the Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was pronounced dead at 2 a.m. "It sounded like they fired three shots, had a panic reaction and realized they needed to fire more," Kossler, who comes from a family with a military background, said. "It did not sound disciplined, it sounded frantic." A witness told officers that about five males wearing black clothing ran from the scene, according to officials. Five people — three adults and two minors — matching that description were seen running east on Pleasant Street from Cuyler Avenue and were taken into custody, authorities said. No charges have been announced. No weapons were recovered. The scene in the 600 block of South Boulevard in Oak Park, where an unidentified man was fatally shot early Friday morningMohammad Samra/Sun-Times A pool of blood could be seen near a white vehicle officers were examining Friday morning. One officer stationed about a block away was flying a drone over the scene where crime scene tape continued to block off Wesley Avenue. Several residents, including 54-year-old Marita Bollici, were awakened or startled by "six to seven rapid-fire shots."Bollici said she saw a group of people near the vehicle through her front door doorbell camera after the shots were fired and hoped her 11-year-old son would stay asleep."I'm pretty sad about it," Bollici, who has lived in the neighborhood for about five years, told the Sun-Times. "I don’t think that there's any safe neighborhood." A 37-year-old man who has lived on the block for over a year said he was half-asleep when he was startled by the shots, followed swiftly by the arrival of five squad cars."You hear about [gun violence] all the time," said the resident, who didn’t want to be named for privacy reasons. "You can't avoid it, but when it happens on your block it's like, wow, I don’t know what to do about it."Several community members said Friday morning's shooting brought back emotions from the shooting death of Oak Park detective Allan Reddins last November, about a half-mile away. "That was close enough," the resident said of Reddins' shooting. "This is obviously even closer." "This kind of stuff doesn’t usually happen around here, but it's been getting worse lately," said Kossler, who has lived in Oak Park his entire life. "The communities are supposed to be getting safer, not more dangerous."The Oak Park Police Department is investigating the shooting with the assistance of the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force. ...read more read less
