Police investigate shooting at Belleville bar
Belleville police are investigating a shooting outside a West Main Street bar early Wednesday.
Police Lt. Todd Keilbach said the shooting happened just before 12:30 a.m. near Spike’s Pub and Grub, the former Antique House Lounge, at the corner of West Main and 37th streets.
A 24-year-old man called police to report that he was shot in the left thigh, Keilbach said. He was transported to Memorial Hospital and treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. Police have not publicly identified a possible suspect.
“The incident was not a random act of violence and appears to have some domestic implications,” a news release from the department stated. No one else was injured during the shooting.
Fox 2 News reported that bullet casings were recovered at the scene. Keilbach could not confirm if a weapon was recovered.
Anyone with information on the case can call Belleville police at 618-234-1212 or Crimestoppers at 866-371-8477.
