Bloomington Police Make Arrest In Downtown Shooting

A Bloomington armed robbery resulted in one shooting injury, and one arrest. Police say they have booked 18-year old Richard Sims for Aggravated Battery with a Firearm. That connects to a reported armed robbery Wednesday afternoon at Jackson and Lang's Alley near downtown Bloomington. Police were called to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center when a man came in with a gunshot wound. The non-life threatening injury was in the calf. The 19 year old male shooting victim, and a 20 year old say they were held up. Police say they believe the shooting may have come out of an argument about drugs.
