Three people are in hospital with gunshot wounds after an altercation broke out at what police call a “family gathering” in unincorporated Elgin early Sunday morning.
At approximately 12:01am, Kane County Shreiff’s deputies were dispatched to 8N500 block of Gingerwood Lane in unincorporated Elgin, where a gathering that included several dozen family members and guests was in progress. Shortly before shots were fired, several family members and guests got into a physical altercation outside the residence, which then moved into the house as it continued. Shortly thereafter, shots rang out from inside the house.
Three victims suffered gunshot wounds: a 70-year-old man; a 36-year-old man; and a 21-year-olf woman. All were taken to area hospitals to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing and no suspects are in custody at this time.
