The suspect who was involved in an officer shooting in Carbondale on Saturday has been identified. Police announce the suspect as 28-year-old Jeremy Spivey of Marion. According to a spokesperson from the department, an officer was performing routine business checks throughout downtown Carbondale, when reportedly he heard what he believed was gunshots near Curb Side Grill. Since that restaurant is served as an entertainment venue, the officer arrived to the scene. Once arriving, he saw a man firing a gun in the direction of a large crowd of people, according to the department. In response to an active shooter and to protect the public from possible injury, the officer fired his weapon and wounded Spivey. Police then performed life-saving procedures on the suspect while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. Spivey was then air-lifted to a St. Louis hospital for medical treatment. Spivey was also on parole through the Illinois Department of Corrections. As per department policy, the Illinois State Police was contacted and is leading the investigation, since it is an officer-involved shooting incident.
