IL: DeKalb - Gunfight Moves from Apt to Street, Suspect Arrested

The second man involved had locked himself inside an apartment in the 1000 block of Ridge Dr. He later came out and turned himself over to officers.

The 42-year-old man had been shot multiple times in the leg and was taken to the hospital for treatment. At the hospital, he told detectives that Cotton pulled out a gun inside the apartment and tried to take money from him. After the man grabbed his own gun in self-defense, Cotton fired several shots hitting the man twice in the leg.

The man chased Cotton into the street, where more gunfire broke out. The DeKalb County State's Attorney's Office is reviewing the man's actions and he could face charges, according to police.
