A Chicago man is charged with attempted murder after police said he sprayed a house with gunfire from an AK-47 rifle.
Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. ordered Maurice Tousant, 32, held in lieu of $1 million bail Saturday on that charge and another count of aggravated discharge of a gun.
Witnesses said Tousant approached the house in the 2800 block of West Monroe Street in the East Garfield Park neighborhood April 3 and shot at a woman and two men who took cover as the bullets ripped through walls and windows, according to a police report.
No one was hurt, the report said. At least one of the intended targets knows Tousant, prosecutors said.
Tousant was arrested at home in the 4300 block of W. West End Avenue about 11 p.m. Wednesday, the report said.
