Kelsey Greene witnessed Monday's shooting near the Uptown Library from her window, she said.

Despite some confusion at a recent meeting, Ald. Tunney's office still expects 35 more officers.

Some say police should still return to monthly meetings with neighbors.

Neighbors fear the area is being targeted.

The tone of the meetings will also change.

At the last meeting, officers reported a 5 percent decrease in major crime in Beat 1913 in August.

Ald. Waguespack said police are looking into whether attacks in Lakeview and Logan Square are related.

So far in July, there have been 20 robberies and burglaries in Lakeview.

Business owners credited police with doing a "tremendous job" of controlling crowds.

From stickers geared at preventing bike thefts to special Bike Month deals, Lakeview has it all.

Town Hall officers talked crime stats Wednesday. Robberies are down, but burglaries up in some beats.

Police called smartphones "a hot commodity" on the black market that can sell for $100-$200.

But some residents doubted the city's numbers after a critical Chicago magazine investigation.

Half of the burglaries were at condo or apartment buildings, police said.
