A 17 year old is dead following a shooting at a Galesburg gun store.
Police say on Wednesday officers were called to Galesburg Guns and Ammo for a report of a disturbance and shots being fired. Investigators say once on the scene, officers learned that several suspects had broken into the business.
The owner of the business was inside during the break-in and police say a preliminary investigation shows the owner fired four to five shots at the suspects after they entered the gun shop.
Shortly after the break-in and shooting, a 17 year old was dropped off at the front door of the emergency room at Cottage Hospital with a gunshot wound. Police say the driver of the vehicle immediately drove away after the teen was dropped off.
