Man Beaten, Shots Fired In 'Targeted Incident' In Naperville: Cops

NAPERVILLE, IL — A man was injured and shots were fired during what Naperville police are calling a "targeted incident" that took place at a home in the 1500 block of west Jefferson Avenue early Sunday.

Police arrived at the home around 12:45 a.m. after they received a report that there was a fight and that shots had been fired. Officers found a man who had been battered, but found no one who had been shot at the scene, a news release said.

Police say a preliminary investigation suggests that the injured man had been targeted after he was involved in a "dispute." The man was confronted by "multiple people" when he got home and was then battered "with a shot being fired," according to the news release.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for injuries that were not life threatening.

The incident remains under investigation and police say the "intent of the gunfire" was not immediately evident.

Anyone who has information is urged to contact the Naperville Police Department at 630-420-6006.
