CHICAGO (AP) - At least two high-rise buildings along Chicago's Gold Coast have been struck by gunfire in recent weeks.
Authorities said the most recent damage was discovered Thursday, while earlier incidents were found last month, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
The buildings are in the same Lake Shore Drive block. Police were seeking surveillance footage in the area to hopefully lead to whomever fired the shots.
Police said there have been four instances in which shots from a handgun struck windows or exterior walls, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Damage discovered Feb. 11 was done to the 30th floor of one building.
