One killed, four wounded in Aurora shooting overnight

One person is dead and four others wounded after a shooting early Sunday on Aurora's near east side, authorities say.

Aurora police officers responding to a report of shots fired at about 2:30 a.m. found three adults suffering from gunshot wounds at a home in the 700 block of Fifth Street, according to police. All three were taken by Aurora Fire Department paramedics to an area hospital, where one died and the two others remained hospitalized Sunday morning in stable condition, police said.

A short time later, two more people arrived at Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora suffering from gunshot wounds, police said. They also were listed in stable condition Sunday.

Detectives and technicians were on the scene Sunday interviewing potential witnesses, canvassing the area and collecting forensic evidence.

Police believe the shooting is an isolated and targeted event.

"We do not (have a suspect)," Aurora police spokesman Paris Lewbel said. "Right now (motive) is under investigation. We have had some tips, but we really need anybody in the community who may have seen something or heard something to come forward potentially with any information to be able to help us."

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Aurora Police's Investigations Division at (630) 256-5500 or Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000 to leave information anonymously. Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards up to $5,000 to citizens who give information leading to the arrest of felony offenders and the capture of felony fugitives.

"If you saw something, we need you to say something," police Cmdr. Jack Fichtel said in a statement released by the department Sunday morning. "No matter how small the information might seem, we need to people to come forward with any bit of information about what happened early this morning."

Lewbel said police are withholding the name of the person killed pending notification of family.
