Two Dead, One Wounded in Joliet Shooting

by Erin Gallagher

Joliet Police have not released the names of two men killed Tuesday when they were shot outside in a driveway in the 400 block of Strong avenue.

The shooting occurred about 5:25 p.m., according to a Herald News report. One victim was pronounced dead on the scene in the driveway.

A second victim, who ran into a neighboring house, was apparently shot in the buttocks, according to Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Carey. That person was then airlifted to Loyola Medical Center.

“While the ambulance crew pulled around the corner of Miles Avenue, they noticed another victim laying in a different driveway on that street,” Carey told the Herald News.

The third victim later died of his injuries at the hospital.
