Aurora Police Investigate Shooting on West Side, Two Wounded
Two individuals were wounded in a shooting incident on the West Side of Aurora, as reported by the Aurora Police Department. The event occurred around 9:33 a.m. on Friday in the 2000 block of West Downer Place. Preliminary investigations suggest that the gunfire involved individuals associated with at least two vehicles in a parking lot. A 25-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound near the intersection of Downer Place and Edgelawn Drive and was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He later left the hospital on his own. Another man with a gunshot wound arrived at a different local hospital for treatment and was subsequently released. The incident prompted several nearby schools and childcare facilities to temporarily implement a hold-in-place status, which was later lifted. The police have not made any arrests, and the incident is believed to be targeted, with no ongoing threat to the community.
