DOLTON, Ill. - A person was found shot and killed near Pope Leo XIV's childhood home in south suburban Dolton on Sunday morning, officials said.
What we know:
A Dolton village official told Fox Chicago about police activity in the 200 block of E. 141st Street near Indiana Avenue, just about a block away from the pope's childhood home.
A spokeswoman for the Village of Dolton said the incident is under investigation.
The historic home is just a block away at 212 E. 141st Place. The Village of Dolton purchased the home last year with the aim of making it a historic site. It attracted several visitors last year when Pope Leo, who was born Robert Francis Prevost, was elected to the papacy.

The victim has not been identified. The exact circumstances of the shooting and if any other individuals were hurt were unclear as of late Sunday morning.
