East Peoria Police Chief Ganschow said, "It's very difficult to say. You can play the 'what if' game over and over again, but I think it's pretty clear in his case the presence of this officer and his ability to take very quick and very decisive action prevented a further tragedy."
According to Ganschow, there were about 100 witnesses present during the East Peoria shooting and who could provide contact information to police. These witnesses reportedly include some members of the East Peoria High School class of 1999. Ganschow added that while the crime scene has been released, it will remain closed to the public as the investigation is ongoing.
East Peoria shooting is being investigated by the East Peoria Police in collaboration with Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
