Two people were killed and one wounded during a shooting Saturday night at Two Brothers Roundhouse restaurant in Aurora, police said.
At around 9:10 p.m. Saturday, Aurora police received multiple 911 calls for shots fired at the restaurant at 205 N. Broadway, police said in a news release.
When officers arrived, they found multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the release. Officers began life-saving measures before Aurora Fire Department paramedics transported two of the people shot to area hospitals, police said.
A woman transported to an area hospital was later pronounced dead, while a man taken to the hospital is in critical condition, according to the release.
Another man, believed to be the shooter, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Detectives from the Aurora Police Department’s Investigations Division responded to the scene, along with evidence technicians, to begin a comprehensive investigation, according to the release.
Preliminary information suggests all three people who were shot knew each other, with police saying the shooting appears to be a domestic violence related incident, according to the release. There is no indication of an ongoing threat to the community, police said.
The Kane County Coroner’s Office was requested to the scene and autopsies will be scheduled to determine the exact cause and manner of death, according to police.
“Our hearts are heavy tonight. Members of our community were senselessly shot while simply trying to enjoy a night out, and our entire city feels the weight of that violence.” Aurora Police Chief Matt Thomas said in the release. “On behalf of the Aurora Police Department, I want the victims and their families to know we are standing with you and doing everything we can to make sure you have answers.”
