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 outside 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 were not returned.

Maybe some new manhole lids with rubber rings to stop all the flooding of peoples houses,AndRead More actually climb down in the manhole and see if it is leaking instead of paying all of these people in Joliet getting flooded out by YOUR SANITARY System. Some paint being scrapped off the City Hall Hand Rails that will cut ya up.
