AURORA, IL - The Kane County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that occurred Wednesday night in the parking lot of an apartment complex in unincorporated Aurora Township.

Just before midnight two victims, both adult males, were sitting in a car in a parking lot at the apartment complex, which is located at 1601 Reckinger Road in unincorporated Aurora Township, when a person approached them and started shooting into the car, according to a Kane County Sheriff’s Office press release. The victims said they did not know the person.

Both men were struck by the bullets but their injuries were not life-threatening, police said. The two victims drove themselves to the Aurora Police Department following the shooting and then were transported to Provera Mercy Hospital in Aurora.
