BLOOMINGTON – Three people have been killed and a fourth person was injured in a shooting at an apartment complex on Bloomington’s east side.
Bloomington Police were called about 3 p.m. Monday to a report of multiple shots fired at 311 Riley Dr.
“They went in the building and found three people had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Those three were pronounced dead at the scene,” said reporter Menashe Kwangwari from news partner WMBD-TV.
“There was a fourth individual that they found who suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital,” Kwangwari said.
Police are not releasing information about any suspects.
This has been a particularly violent couple of months in Bloomington-Normal, as three shootings has left seven people dead since late April.
Monday’s triple homicide came just eight days after an east side shooting killed two people. Taneshiea Brown, 20, Steven Alexander, 18, died from multiple gunshot wounds in the 1200 block of Orchard Street, near Veterans Parkway and East Empire during the early morning hours of June 10. Police have not made any arrests in that case.
Joseph Gardner, 20, and Reginaldt Hart Jr., both from Bloomington, died from a total of 21 gunshot wounds April 25 at Lancaster Heights Apartments on East College Avenue in Normal. Police arrested Christopher Harrison, 18, who lived at the apartment complex, on charges including first degree murder and possession of stolen guns and ammunition, including an AR-15 rifle.
