Police search for man accused of killing 3 with assault rifle in Illinois
ROCKFORD, Ill. -- Police have named a 22-year-old suspect and charged him in an arrest warrant with using an assault rifle to fatally shoot three people on an adult-themed charter bus in Rockford, Illinois. The Rockford Police Department said Raheem D. King was still at large Sunday in the shooting on the private "Distinguished Gentleman" bus early Saturday.
Police said King should be considered armed and dangerous. They said he was a passenger on the bus when he opened fire. He is charged in the warrant with first-degree murder and will be held without bail when he is arrested.
Keeley Van Horn said she's only lived on Rockford's west side for a month and she's already witnessed a lot of crime.
"I don't travel anywhere alone and that's always been my thing living in Rockford," she told CBS affiliate WIFR-TV.
Authorities haven't named the three adult victims. The Winnebago County Coroner's also didn't immediately say how many times each victim was shot.
"Obviously there's an individual out there who has killed three people and we need to apprehend (that) individual," Rockford police Chief Dan O'Shea said Saturday, according to the Rockford Register Star.
The Rockford Police Department is calling for anyone with information to come forward to help the investigation.
