One person shot as gunfire strikes 2 homes, 1 vehicle, church Saturday in Joliet

Police said one person was shot and bullets hit three buildings and a vehicle Saturday night in 1000 block of Woodruff Road in Joliet.

When police arrived at 10:45 p.m., they found spent shell casings in the street and determined gunfire had struck two houses and an unoccupied Honda HR-V, according to a news release from the Joliet Police Department.

One house appeared to be struck only once, while the other was struck multiple times. Both homes were occupied at the time of the shooting.

“In the home that was struck multiple times, a round struck a headboard of a bed while an adult female laid in the bed,” according to the release.

Although no one reported injuries at the scene, Joliet police learned that a private vehicle had taken a 27-year-old man to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox. The man, who was reportedly shot while walking in the 1000 block of Woodruff road, suffered a gunshot wound to the left shoulder and a bullet graze wound to the head.

The man was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening and released from Silver Cross.

Joliet police returned to the shooting scene Sunday morning after Newness of Life in Christ Church at 1014 Woodruff Road was struck by gunfire Saturday night.

Joliet police officers and detectives canvassed the area.
