A 16-year-old boy was charged with attempted murder and shooting at police Thursday in Fuller Park.
The teen was arrested minutes after a 14-year-old boy was killed and four other people were wounded in the 4200 block of South Wells Street, Chicago police said.
He was charged with multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm at peace officers and aggravated discharge of a firearm, police said. He was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon under 21.
Officers found several victims on the ground and a gunman standing near them, police said.
“That armed offender then discharged his firearm in the direction of the officers,” police said in a written statement. “An officer returned fire, and the offender fled and was taken into custody a short time later. It was discovered the offender had a gunshot wound to the leg.”
Police said it was not clear whether the gunman had been wounded by police or had been shot before officers arrived.
