The Lake County Sheriff Office is searching for a person who shot a 22-year-old man near Lake Villa late Monday night.

Sgt. Curtis Gregory of the Lake County Sheriff's Office said police were called to a bar on the 37000 block of Route 59 at 9:45 p.m. for a man shot in the arm and torso.

Justin Diedrich was taken to a hospital after the shooting, authorities said. He is expected to make a full recovery, Gregory said.

Gregory said early Tuesday that Diedrich was not shot inside the bar, and the location where the shooting took place is unknown at this time.

Gregory said the shooter is not in custody.

He said the investigation continues and more details are expected later.
