PULASKI CO., Ill.—Illinois State Police are investigating the shooting incident that occurred earlier this evening in downtown Mounds, Illinois, that’s left one dead.
Sadly, both individuals struck by gunfire are juveniles, and sadder still, one is dead from injuries sustained in the shooting.
Because both are juveniles, information coming out about the situation is scant. We have been told, however, that both involved are males, and both are from Cairo; the one who died of his injuries is said to be 16 years of age.
We’ve been advised officially that Illinois State Police District 22 out of Ullin are investigating leads; however, there have been no arrests as of the latest update (9 p.m.) The incident was said to have occurred between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. this evening, Wednesday, November 26.
When we learn more, we’ll post it; keep checking back for updates.
