The corner of Buckbee Street and Barnes Street was filled with Rockford's finest this morning after a report of a possible car explosion.

MyStateline.com reports that the situation was serious enough to call in the bomb squad in order to determine if an explosive device was used or not. Thankfully, there have been no reported injuries from this event.

Turns out this has been a busy street as it was also the scene of an overnight shooting as well, this time at the corner of Buckbee Street and Birch Street.

This is a developing story so we will issue any updates that may arise.
