Normal Police investigate after shooting near youth football game

Yellow police tape that says "Police Line Do Not Cross." The text "WGLT Police and Fire" is laid on top of that photo.

The Normal Police Department is investigating a shooting Saturday in the area of Lincoln and Beech streets.

The shooting reportedly happened around 5:47 p.m. Police found evidence of a shooting in the area.

No injuries have been reported and there is no threat to the public, according to NPD, which is looking to locate suspects.

The Twin City Tiger Football Facebook page, representing the nonprofit youth football program, reported "an incident at our Varsity game today and gun shots were fired."

"Everyone is safe and there were no injuries," the statement read. "Normal PD responded quickly and is investigating the situation."
