PEORIA, Ill. — A juvenile was shot Wednesday night in Peoria’s East Bluff.
Police were called around 7:30 p.m. to the 700 block of E. Corrington Avenue after a ShotSpotter alert indicated nine rounds were fired.
Public Information Officer Semone Roth said the victim was shot in the abdomen and was taken to a local hospital.
Police say the boy is in serious condition.
PPD has not released any suspect information.
At this time, police do not believe Wednesday night’s shooting is connected to a fatal shooting last Friday night that claimed the life of a 15-year-old.
