Man shot in face near Arlington Heights

A man was shot in his face early Friday in an unincorporated area north of Arlington Heights, authorities said. Cook County sheriff’s police responded to the 3900 block of Galesburg Avenue about 3:20 a.m. after receiving a 911 call.

Officers started lifesaving measures on the victim before an ambulance took him to a hospital. The man was in stable condition, the sheriff’s office said.

Police remained on scene Friday morning. A home on the residential block was cordoned off by police tape. Two vehicles — a white Chevrolet Corvette and black pickup truck — were in the driveway, and broken glass could be seen from TV news helicopters that were flying over the scene.

Authorities did not say if they’ve identified a suspect. They have not released any other details about the circumstances of the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff’s detectives at 708-865-4896.
