A high school teen was killed and two other people injured in a shooting Wednesday night in Carpentersville, police said.

The incident occurred about 8:35 p.m., with officers arriving to find a 17-year-old male laying in the roadway who had been shot in the head, Police Chief Todd Shaver said in a news release. He was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

Two other victims were found with non-life-threatening gunshot injuries and taken to local hospitals for treatment, Shaver said.

A preliminary investigation determined the shots were fired at a vehicle in which the victims were seated near the first block of Robin Road. They drove to Birch Street and then called for help, the release said.

The identity of the teen who was killed has not been released but he is a student at Dundee-Crown High School in Carpentersville.

An investigation by the Carpentersville Police Department and the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Sgt. Alan Webb at 847-551-3481 or QuadCom Dispatch at 847-428-8784.
