Normal Police lined police tape along several homes and apartment buildings in the 700 block of Franklin Avenue as an Illinois State police investigator gathered evidence from the scene of a shooting on Sunday morning.

Six people — including two juveniles — were shot early Sunday morning in a residential neighborhood in Normal just south of the Illinois State University campus, authorities said.

Police responded around 2:40 a.m. to the 700 block of Franklin Avenue, an area just south of the railroad tracks with a mix of apartments and homes located between ISU and the Carle BroMenn Medical Center complex.

Officers found multiple people outside with gunshot wounds, Normal Police said. They were taken to the hospital. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.

The victims include two juvenile males, two adult males, and two adult females, police said.

Based on the preliminary investigation, this incident appears to be isolated, police said. No arrests have been made as of 8 a.m. Sunday.

Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Kyle McComber at 309-433-3415 or kmccomber@normalil.gov.
