Man struck in the face after masked men kick down the door of his East Bluff home
Officers with the Peoria Police Department went to the 300 block of East Corrington Street just before 4:15 a.m. Sunday after an alert from the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system indicated nine rounds had been fired, said Semone Roth, a departmental spokeswoman.
When they arrived, a man walked up to them, saying someone broke into his house in the 2800 block of North Missouri Avenue, which is less than a block away from the ShotSpotter alert, according to Roth.

The man told police two unknown men, wearing ski masks, had kicked down his front door and one pointed a gun at him before hitting him with it, she said.
The two assailants then left the house and, as they ran away, fired the gun into the air, Roth said.
The victim received minor injuries. No one else was injured, she said.
No suspect information was given, and no arrests had been made public. Roth did say that there was no report of anything being taken from the home.
The incident is still under investigation.
