Uber driver John Williams picked up a female passenger on Sunday in the West Garfield Park region of Chicago and was quickly told to "go," being warned that they were about to be shot at. Williams accelerated and gunshots were heard as they fled the scene in the vehicle. The passenger called the police while the driver waited not far from the scene. While waiting for the police more gunshots were heard, along with seeing erratic driving, so the driver decided to not wait for police any longer.
