2 men report shooting at Citgo gas station

Antwaun L. Hopkins, 21, of 1019 N. Summit St., was arrested May 13 on charges of criminal recklessness, a Class-D felony, said Sgt. Mick Williams of the Bloomington Police Department, reading from a police report. \nWilliams was conducting a routine traffic stop on the 2000 block of North Walnut when he heard several loud pops that sounded like gunfire. \nA man came running toward Williams and began to say, “They’re shooting up there, they’re shooting up there,” while pointing north. \nWilliams called for more cars and went to the Citgo Gas Station on North Walnut. When the officers arrived at the gas station, they found several shell casings from handguns in the lot and an abandoned bronze Chevy Monte Carlo. \nOfficers searched the area and located the subjects who were potentially involved. The victims, the man who ran up to the police car and another man, were relocated.\nWilliams said there seemed to be prior history between the subjects and the two victims. The subjects arrived in a car as the victims exited the gas station. They were confronted by Hopkins, and he then knocked the victim to the ground with his body.\nSeveral witnesses said all of the subjects pulled out handguns and started firing rounds at the victims. Victims identified Hopkins as a subject who was firing rounds.\nHopkins was the only one arrested, but other charges may still be pending. The case is still being investigated.
