Joliet police have not yet made any arrests in connection with a shooting that damaged a vehicle in a northwest section of the city that’s close to Interstate 55.

Officers learned of the shooting after responding to a report of a fight about 8:20 a.m. Oct. 3 in the 3000 block of Indian Springs Court, Joliet Police Sgt. Dwayne English said.

When officers arrived, they learned that a resident in the area had become involved in a physical altercation with a man wearing a ski mask, English said.

Officers found the owner of the vehicle and believe the shooting may have occurred about 3 a.m. that morning, English said.
