BBC 19 JUN 2023
Deputies patrolling near Honeysuckle Rose Lane and
Route 83 heard numerous gunshots shortly before 12:30 a.m. and responded to an area where "a large gathering" was happening, DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Eric Swanson told reporters at the scene.
Swanson said preliminary witness and victim reports indicate at least 20 individuals suffered gunshot wounds, and confirmed that one victim has died.
"The motive behind this incident is unclear and this is still an active investigation," Swanson said.
Multiple victims were rushed to area hospitals while some of the wounded self-transported, officials said. No update on any the victims’ ages or conditions was immediately available
Nor was information about a suspect or the type of firearm used.
