KEWANEE, Ill. — One man was injured after a shooting at a home in the 200 block of East 6th Street in Kewanee on Sunday, Feb. 26, according to a release from Kewanee Police.
Police responded to the home at the same time they were notified of a man who arrived at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center suffering from two gunshot wounds to his lower left abdomen and right shoulder. The man was later transported via helicopter to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.
