Zion man has been charged after police claim he fired at least four shots at officers early Friday in Waukegan.
Waukegan police responded about 2:00 a.m. Friday to investigate a domestic disturbance call in the 3000 block of Arthur Court when multiple shots were fired in an unrelated incident nearby.
A police officer went to investigate the gunfire and “immediately” detained two men, police said.
After three more backup police officers arrived, someone yelled an obscenity at the officers and fired “four or five” shots at them, according Waukegan police.
Police officers took cover and did not return fire. Police saw the suspected shooter fleeing the area, police said. Police recovered a gun, spent bullets and multiple shell casings.
Police then located and arrested two more suspects Saturday morning in addition to the first two suspects, but only three men were charged and detained. The three men are believed to have gang affiliations, according to police.
