A Round Lake teen has been arrested and charged in a January shooting outside a high school basketball game in Zion.
He was armed with a handgun. Zion police said he escaped from the county’s youth detention center in December.The shooting happened Jan. 31 in the parking lot of Zion-Benton Township High School following a boys basketball game against Waukegan High School.Police said Wednesday that their investigation showed the alleged shooter and two other people had attended the game, but left around halftime. Security camera footage shows that the three got into a silver car in the lot, but did not leave.
Later, after the game ended and people were filing out, the alleged shooter got out from the passenger side of the car and fired at a group of people who were only about 10 feet away, police said. No one was struck by the gunfire, but one person was evaluated by paramedics after being trampled by people fleeing the scene, police said.The people who were apparently targeted are not students at ZBTHS, according to police. Authorities said they were contacted, but declined to talk to police.
Police, however, said they were able to continue their investigation and identified the Round Lake youth as the alleged shooter. He was arrested at the theater on March 8 and was remanded to the county juvenile facility. He has been charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, and may face other charges, police said.
