MOLINE, Ill. (AP) - Police say a man was killed outside a northwestern Illinois community’s City Hall in a shooting that officers heard from inside their nearby station.

Moline police Detective Michael Griffin says officers heard about eight gunshots about 10 a.m. Wednesday and found a 22-year-old Moline man dead inside a van behind City Hall.

Griffin says investigators believe shots were fired by someone in another vehicle who fled the scene and that the shooting didn’t have any involvement with city government. He says shots were fired involving the vehicles beginning at another downtown site before the gunfire near City Hall.

No arrests were immediately made and police were searching for two or three men in an SUV.

Police closed off some streets near City Hall while gathering evidence.
