Not so good news from Illinois
Child, 6 others injured in East St. Louis, Illinois, shooting
Three suspects were taken into custody Friday morning in connection with the incident. They were found in the basement of a partially demolished building, police said.
By Juliette Arcodia Three people were arrested Friday morning in connection with a shooting in East St. Louis, Illinois, that left seven people, including a child, injured, according to police.
Authorities had been looking for the trio since 4 p.m. Thursday, when shots were fired near Martin Luther King Drive and 6th Street. While police have not said what led to the shooting, a spokesperson for the MetroLink train system said a gun battle broke out between two groups near one of its stations.
The seven victims were taken to hospitals, according to police. Their ages and conditions were not released. It was not clear Friday if any of them had connections to any of the suspected shooters.
After the gunfire, the suspects got in a car, tried to beat a MetroLink train and collided with it at the Martin Luther King Drive crossing, the system's spokesperson and police said.
