CARBONDALE — Four people were injured in a Friday night shooting near a popular downtown nightspot, and a suspect remained at large Saturday.

In a Saturday morning news release, Carbondale Police Department officials said one person is being treated for life-threatening injuries. The other three people were being treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. One of those people had been taken to a St. Louis hospital for treatment.

Carbondale Police Chief Jeff Grubbs said the shooting was the result of a dispute among several acquaintances. Two of the people who were injured were involved in the dispute, and two of the injured were bystanders, Grubbs said.

Police identified one of the suspects as Jody L. Pullen Jr., a 27-year-old from Carbondale. Officers have a warrant for his arrest on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated battery with a firearm and felon in possession of a firearm. Police said Pullen should be considered armed and dangerous. They asked anyone with information about his whereabouts to call the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-2677.

Grubbs said police are investigating other possible suspects.

Police did not identify the victims, saying the investigation was active.
