HERRIN — The victim of a deadly shooting in Herrin has been identified, according to matching reports from WHSV and KFVS12. Neither outlet's available reporting included the victim's name, the circumstances of the shooting, or whether any suspect has been charged.
A shooting death in a town this size doesn't stay quiet for long — not on the police scanner, not at the diner counter the next morning. Herrin has had more than its share of violent headlines this year, from this shooting to a house fire ruled a murder-suicide.
The American Times will follow this story as investigators release further details.
