When the alleged felon came out of his pickup truck with a gun
drawn, police opened fire on the man hitting him in the exchange.
Neighbors state that they had heard of reports of a man firing a gun
around the park starting at approximately 3:30 pm.
Shortly after 8:00 pm a call to police that a man was trying to
break into a home brought law enforcement to the area and the
shooting occurred.
Auxiliary from the Logan County Sheriff's Dept. cordoned off a two-block area around the
park as investigation units documented the evidence at the scene.
At the time of this report, the identity of the man and his
condition is not available.
No law enforcement officials were hurt in the
altercation.
The Illinois State Police began an investigation of the scene
almost immediately. It is common for the ISP to become involved in a
shooting involving officers in a local jurisdiction.
Further information will be reported as it is made available.
