Joliet shootout leaves three dead in domestic dispute
Will County police continued the Joliet area investigation after a Saturday night shootout that left three men dead and a fourth wounded. The violence followed a domestic argument as Clyde Williams Sr. confronted intruders Clyde Jr. and James Cook in a kitchen, with Cook and Eugene Forner killed earlier. Williams Sr. survived with serious abdominal wounds. Nearby, a separate scene in Peoria saw Louis Wack found dead with 15 stab wounds, robbery suspected. Chicago’s South Side killings left two men dead in what police suspect was a shootout, and Kentucky’s Pikeville area awaited a federal approval for a 22 million river rail and highway relocation project.
