ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. – An investigation is underway after a man was shot in the head early Sunday morning in Elk Grove.
Joe Heimer lives in the area and said police officers flooded his neighborhood Sunday morning after shots rang out on Dogwood Trail.
“Woke up around five o’clock in the morning. I see a bunch of flashing lights. I look out the window, the street here is blocked off, bunch of squad cars, see a couple of kids standing out there talking to the cops,” Heimer said.
Authorities said a group of people were sitting in a driveway when another group approached and fired shots, hitting one person in the head.
