Manteno, IL – Police are investigating after multiple gunshots were reported late Friday night in Manteno, with officers recovering shell casings and locating a vehicle tied to the incident.
According to the Manteno Police Department, officers were called around 10:50 p.m. Friday to the 100 block of East 2nd Street after witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a vehicle leave the area. Responding officers later recovered several shell casings at the scene.
Authorities said an involved vehicle was found shortly after in the 200 block of Stadium Drive in neighboring Bourbonnais.
