A 42-year-old man was not seriously hurt after being shot Sunday night on Dietz Avenue located off of Pleasant Street.

Lt. Jim Kayes of the DeKalb Police Department said the man was sleeping in his car when another person came and fired shots with a .22-caliber through his window.

According to police scanner reports and Kayes, about four to five shots were fired. One hit the victim on the back-top of his rib cage, another hit his middle shoulder blade and a third grazed his upper arm.

The victim suffered non life-threatening injuries and was taken and admitted to Kishwaukee Community Hospital.

Kayes said there were a couple of people in that area at that time but no one close enough to see what happened.

The police still have to interview the victim.

There was no report on who the suspect might be.

Anyone with information is asked to call the DeKalb Police Department at 748-8400 or Crimestoppers at 895-3272. Star Poll
