Ellis of Pembroke Township. Both were pronounced dead at local hospitals. The other five victims, which include three women, are being treated at Kankakee hospitals.

Kidwell said people who were at the house have been uncooperative with investigators.

“One loss of life is one too many,” Kankakee Mayor Chris Curtis posted on Facebook, “What is more troubling is most of the attendees are not cooperating with police or saying they didn’t see anything. We have to do better Kankakee!”

Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe also said in a social media posting, “we need the community to come forward and provide information.” Rowe said we need to hold those responsible accountable for this senseless mess.”

Police recovered two firearms at the scene and several shell casings. Multiple police agencies responded.
