shooting violence

A weekend confrontation between Peoria Police officers trying to assist a gunshot victim and a crowd of more than 50 bystanders has led to multiple arrests, prompted a statement from the mayor, and drawn scrutiny from a civil rights organization.

Peoria Police say a juvenile male was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the chest.
