Additionally, a juvenile, aged 13, has been charged with aggravated robbery with a firearm. There have been calls of shots fired in the North Tripp area, a security guard at Home Depot on McCormick Blvd was attacked by a group, and a male employee at a Dunkin' Donuts on Lake Street pulled a gun on another employee. A 39-year-old male was shot in the knee on West Madison, with the offender in custody and a weapon recovered.
