At around 6:20 a.m. Thursday in the 7100 block of Arcola Avenue, the passengers of two black pickup trucks exited and shot at the house near Van Dyke, police said. There were two individuals in each vehicle, but police said they are searching for two shooters who shot at the house.

Assistant police chief Eric Ewing called the incident a "senseless act," given that multiple shots were fired from one or both of two pickups that drove past the house. The children were upstairs, in bed and sleeping, at the time of the shooting. Their parents and other siblings also were home at the time.
