Ottawa<\/a> police have charged a man in connection with the early Saturday shooting at the Zeller Inn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

B.J. Redmond, 23, of Ottawa, was picked up early Sunday and taken to La Salle County<\/a> Jail and charged with four felonies, led by aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated discharge of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, Ottawa police said in an updated press release.<\/p>\n

Both charges are Class X felonies carrying six to 30 years in prison with no possibility of probation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Redmond is charged with violation of conditions of pretrial release (firearm) and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, both Class 4 felonies carrying one to three years, police said.<\/p>\n

Additional information on Redmond\u2019s charges was expected Monday when he appears in La Salle County Circuit Court<\/a> to be presented with charges and potentially stand for a detention hearing. <\/p>\n

The updated Sunday police report provided no information on the victim\u2019s condition. <\/p>\n

As previously reported, officers located one person who sustained an apparent gunshot wound to the abdomen. Numerous witnesses were interviewed and the property was processed as a crime scene. Video and other evidence were collected from the scene. The victim was transported from the scene by ambulance. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, the incident is believed to be isolated to a dispute between individuals and there is no perceived threat to the public at this time,\u201d Ottawa Police Capt. Kyle Booras said in the initial press release. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ottawa police have charged a man in connection with the early Saturday shooting at the Zeller Inn.
