LAWRENCE CO., Ill.---Authorities are on scene at Mills Terrace housing in Lawrenceville, where at about 3:30 the public was beginning to learn that there has been a shooting in one of the apartments there.

We've been advised by people on the ground, one of them in an official capacity, that the investigation is currently being conducted as a homicide.

UNOFFICIAL reports indicate that there was an alleged suspect being sought in the vicinity of the old football field near the old high school, which is a few blocks across town from the apartment complex.

OFFICIAL reports indicate that a weapon was transported out of the building, and there are three people so far being taken from the scene for questioning.

The coroner has been called to the scene.

More as we get it.
