An active member of the military was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder on Sunday following a shooting on the day after Christmas at a bowling alley in Rockford, Ill.
The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Duke Webb of Florida.
ROCKFORD, Ill.
A U.S. Army special forces sergeant based in Florida has been charged in an apparently random shooting at an Illinois bowling alley that left three people dead and three wounded, authorities said Sunday.
Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley said Duke Webb, 37, has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of first-degree attempted murder in the shooting at Don Carter Lanes, in Rockford, on Saturday evening. While no bowling is currently allowed due to state-imposed coronavirus restrictions, a bar linked to the business was legally open.
Webb was taken into custody shortly after the shooting at around 7 p.m., Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea said at a news conference Sunday morning.

At least three people were killed and three others injured in a shooting the day after Christmas at a bowling alley in Rockford, Ill., according to police.
Two teenagers are among the victims, though Police Chief Dan O Shea said he did not know whether they had been killed or wounded.
A suspect is in custody, and authorities do not believe anyone else was involved as of Saturday evening.
O Shea told local media outlets that officers responded to reports of shots fired a little before 7 p.m. CT.
At this point in the investigation, he said, it does not appear that officers used their weapons in responding to the incident.
