A garbage collector discovered a handgun in an alley near where off-duty police officer Robert Soto and his companion Kathryn Romberg were killed. A ballistics investigation is underway to determine if the weapon was used in those or any other recent murders.

In other news, two people were shot in Lincoln Park last night yesterday afternoon and are in serious condition, a man on his bicycle was shot and killed in Logan Square early this morning, and a man was shot and killed a block from Division and Damen a little after 1 this morning.
