Man struck in the face after masked men kick down the door of his East Bluff home
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Two ski-mask wearing men kicked in the door of an East Bluff home early Sunday, struck the resident in the face and then fired a gun in the air as they were leaving.
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.
One hospitalized after car crashed into a Peoria church Sunday morning
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.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Tropical moisture moves into the region today
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Good Wednesday morning! Clouds are starting to spill into the area from a weak tropical low traversing the state of Florida this morning. Morning clouds will help keep temperatures milder today as humidity levels increase too. More clouds than sunshine through the morning and into the afternoon we watch for a few spotty to isolated showers move into the region from this tropical low to our southeast. Highs will be slightly cooler than average with readings in the low 80s. This low is very unorganized; however, over the next 7 days the National Hurricane Center gives it a very low chance of development if it even stays off the coast. Tonight mostly cloudy and mild again with readings near 70. For the remainder of the week we will watch for a few spotty showers across the region as temperatures climb to near 90 by Friday. Areas to our north will have a better chance of showers and storms as a disturbance moves across the upper air stream. Locally, as high pressure builds across the south, our weekend rain chances increase as we also have to watch for a few thunderstorm complexes to move across the southeast. These potentially will bring in heavy rainfall and damaging wind. Next week temperatures will be near average for the most part with isolated showers and storms. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
