The Freeport Police Department is currently investigating a triple shooting. FPD reports that its officers responded to the 900 block of South Carroll Avenue for a report of shots fired.  At the scene, officers found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

FPD says officers discovered that a third victim had been transported to FHN Hospital. A 53-year-old male victim suffered a minor graze. A 47-year-old male victim suffered a wound to his arm.

A 50-year-old male victim suffered a gunshot wound. The victim is in stable condition but was transferred to a Rockford area hospital for further treatment. FPD alleges that the victims were in front of a residence on Carroll Avenue when a black male suspect opened fire from behind a house.

The suspect fled the scene after the shooting. Authorities say there had been an argument between some of the individuals at the residence and the suspect before the shooting. It is not believed this was a random act of violence.

Anyone with information is asked to call FPD at 815-235-8222 or Crime Stoppers at 866-TIPSNOW.
