We are aware of the public concern regarding the recent daytime shootings. We are grateful that no innocent bystanders were injured during the incident,” says Sergeant Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. “Though charges have been laid, the investigation continues and we still urge anyone with information to come forward.”
