In Peoria, rising concerns over gun violence continue as authorities charged two teenagers, Christopher Polnitz Cleary and Camarion Puryear, in connection with several shootings. The incidents, which occurred on June 7 and 9, involved a blue Dodge Caliber from which numerous shots were fired, hitting vehicles and residences. Thankfully, there were no casualties, but the discovery of over 100 shell casings highlights the severity of the attacks.
