Four people are in custody for a double shooting earlier this month at the St. Clair Bowl, just outside Fairview Heights.

“It should be noted when this occurred, there were families with children in the bowling alley in the area of the shooting,” police said.

The man accused in the death of a New Baden woman was charged Wednesday in the violent attack on a separate victim that happened 12 hours before he admitted to the murder.

The collision happened when a Cahokia Heights police officer was pursuing a vehicle, which collided with the car carrying the two victims, according to Illinois State Police.

He turned himself in on Thursday, Illinois State Police said.
