Rockford Scanner™: Possible 2nd Shooting Victim in Rockford

Sources are reporting a shooting victim that arrived at Swedish American Hospital. It is not yet clear where the actual shooting took place at yet.

The hospital went on lock-down for safety precautions.
That is normal for any shooting victims that arrive to any local hospitals.

There was a shooting on Auburn just before 4 am.

It is not yet clear if this is the victim that arrived at Swedish American Hospital, or if there is a second shooting victim.

There were 3 different medical assist calls around the same time the victim arrived at Swedish American Hospital.

300 block of N 6th st
1500 block of N Court
2100 block of Sharon
(Note: RPD did say Aggravated Battery With A Firearm for the Auburn shooting)

It is not yet clear if these medical assist calls are related to this story or not yet.
