Man Hit Three Times in Driveby Shooting: Police

The victim, whose graze wounds are not life-threatening, told Joliet officers that he did not know his assailants.

A Joliet man's car was struck by nine bullets in a driveby shooting early Wednesday morning but he sustained only three non-life-threatening graze wounds, Joliet Police Cmdr. Rich Demick said.

The victim told police he was driving in the area of Cherry and Munroe streets at about 12:45 a.m. when shots started being fired from a Toyota he didn't recognize, Demick said.

"He said he doesn't know what happened, somebody just started shooting at him," Demick said.

The victim drove back to his home in the 400 block of Dorris before calling police, he said. He was transported to an undisclosed hospital to have wounds to his chest, left knee and right hand treated.

Hope you find it. Replacing all your credit cards and such is a pain.

Maybe some new manhole lids with rubber rings to stop all the flooding of peoples houses,AndRead More actually climb down in the manhole and see if it is leaking instead of paying all of these people in Joliet getting flooded out by YOUR SANITARY System. Some paint being scrapped off the City Hall Hand Rails that will cut ya up.
