One person was killed and 22 more were wounded by gunfire at a 'peaceful Juneteenth gathering' in Unincorporated Willowbrook overnight, according to the DuPage County Sheriff.
Video captured of the crime scene in the early hours of the investigation shows trash tossed all over the area and what appears to be a flag, used to symbolize Juneteenth, hung on a car."It was supposed to be like a Juneteenth celebration," said Markeshia Avery, another witness. "We just started hearing shooting, so we dropped down until they stopped. They just kept going. After that, we literally scattered away.
The victims are being treated at several hospitals in the area, and their individual conditions are not known at this time. The DuPage County Sheriff's Office is actively investigating. The crime scene was being processed throughout Sunday morning. The businesses and area in the immediate vicinity of where the shooting happened will remain closed until further notice.that I have read and agree
