CPD WTF 20/24

Last night I heard a citywide alert on my police scanner: Shots fired reported in the 7000 block of N. Paulina. That's in Rogers Park, and in the Chicagp Police Department's Districts 20 and 24 dispatcher coverage. The citywide calls should be turned around immediately to local districts. The "shots fired" citywide call was heard at 11:46 p.m. Surely, I thought, 20/24 dispatch will repeat this within seconds. At 12:36 a.m., about 45 minutes after the citywide call, I turned off my scanner. All seemed pretty calm at the 20/24 dispatch desk. I hope those shots didn't hit anybody.
