A suspect accused of shooting three people, including a teenager, in Central Illinois was arrested after he shot himself Monday.

The victims were treated at a local hospital before being transferred to a Springfield hospital. Their conditions have not been released.

Later in the morning, police began searching for 43-year-old, Lee Wayne Kennedy in connection with the shooting.

He was last seen driving a white 1996 GMC Sierra with an extended cab truck and police said they believed he could be headed back to southern Illinois as he is from this area.

On Monday afternoon, schools in Hillsboro were put on lockdown. School officials said the car belonging to Kennedy was located in Hillsboro.

Police reports say Kennedy later robbed the Colonial Pantry in Stonington, Illinois around 3 p.m.

According to police, one of the shooting victims has a valid order of protection against Kennedy for an ongoing domestic violence situation.
