Two Injured: One "Critical" After Fight At Landings Of Belle Meadows In Alton

ALTON - At 9:48 p.m. on October 10, 2022, the Alton Police Department received a 911 call reporting that several people were fighting in the Landings at Belle Meadows apartment complex in Alton.

Alton Deputy Police Chief Jarrett Ford said officers responded but did not observe an active disturbance in the complex.
