A 31 year old Danville man is being held in connection with a shooting that left a man hospitalized. Deputy Chief Terry McCord says about 3:45 a.m. Monday, Danville Police Officers were on patrol and heard what sounded like shots in the 1600 block of Edgewood Drive. Patrol officers responded there and located a 20-year-old male victim with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment where he has been listed in stable condition.

During the investigation, warrants for apartments in the 1600 block of Edgewood were obtained with the assistance of the Vermilion County State’s Attorney’s Office. The Danville Police Department Emergency Response Unit served those warrants and placed Torrence S. Gardner of 1102 Fowler Avenue into custody. Gardner is being held on the charges of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. This incident remains under investigation.
