Domestic disturbance leads to shooting in Belleville, police say
A 20-year-old man who police have not identified suffered a gunshot wound Monday evening in a Belleville home.
Police arrested a female suspect at the scene in the 100 block of West C Street. Charges are pending said Belleville Police Capt. Mark Heffernan.
He said when police were dispatched to the residence in response to a domestic situation and found the man with a bullet wound to his leg.
“He was taken to a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries”, Heffernan said. ”Preliminary information indicates it was a domestic disturbance inside of the residence prior to the gunshot being fired.”
The victim and suspect “have a family relationship,” Heffernan said.
Police are still investigating the alleged shooting and will submit evidence to the St. Clair County State’s Attorney’s office, Heffernan said.
