PEORIA — Police responded to a report of a gunshot early Friday to find a man screaming that he had been shot in the genitals.

Around 12:55 a.m. Friday, police arrived at the Green Diamond Apartments, 6516 N. University St., where a 24-year-old man was yelling that his genitals had been shot, according to a police report. The man, whose boxer shorts were soaked with blood, was taken to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center for treatment.

Police described the man as intoxicated and uncooperative. Officers asked him about the location of the shooting scene and the identity of the gunman, including whether the man has shot himself. But, according to police, he would only reply, “I don’t know.”
