IROQUOIS COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — A Monday evening shooting in Iroquois County left one person hurt and the suspected shooter in custody after officials said they fled to Indiana.
The shooting happened west of the Village of Iroquois in the area of 2150 N Road, officials from the Iroquois County Sheriff’s Office said in a release. The dispatch center was informed that a person had been shot and the suspect had fled the scene.
Responding deputies took one person from the scene to St. Mary’s Hospital in Kankakee. Officials did not say what condition they are in.
Later, the sheriff’s office was informed by its counterparts in Jasper and Newton Counties in Indiana that deputies were involved in a pursuit of a vehicle suspected of being involved in the shooting.
