15-Year-Old Held in Joliet Central HS Shooting

The incident stemmed from one teen chasing, and firing off one round, according to published reports.

 

A 15-year-old boy was in police custody Tuesday in connection with the Monday afternoon shooting outside Joliet Central High School that forced the school into lockdown.

Joliet police say the incident involved two boys, one of whom was chasing the other with a gun, according to a story in the Joliet-Herald News.

The incident began at about 4:05 p.m. Monday when a Central staff member heard a shot, resulting in the school going into lockdown for about 30 minutes. No one was injured and the lockdown was lifted at 4:40 p.m.

No other details were available on the altercation. Calls to the Joliet Police Department were not returned.
