A report of shots fired in the 700 block of East Hickory Street led to the Saturday arrest of Arturo Perez-Gallegos of Bradley by Kankakee police.

According to a police report, about 1:04 p.m., an officer was dispatched to the 700 block of East Hickory for shots fired in an alley.

The officer said that he spoke to some individuals in the 400 block of South Greenwood Avenue in the alley. They told the officer the shots came from a house in the 700 block of East Hickory.

Upon the arrival of other officers, a perimeter was created around the house.

Several witnesses alleged they saw a male Hispanic with a shotgun shoot six rounds and return into the house.

At one point, Perez-Gallegos came out of the back door. The officer instructed Perez-Gallegos to show his hands and not move. Perez-Gallegos put both his hands up and went back inside the house.

A short time later, Perez-Gallegos and another individual emerged from the house. They told officers they did not see or hear anything. They were remodeling a house next door. Both were then taken into custody, according to the report.

Officers located a shotgun in a garage and took it into evidence along with spent shell casings found in the alley.

According to court records, the Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s office charged Perez-Gallegos with felon in possession of a firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm.
