BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) – Three people were dead and a fourth was hospitalized after a shooting during a suspected home invasion in suburban Chicago, police said.
The police department in Bolingbrook, Illinois, said in a statement that officers responded to the home around 8:15 p.m. Sunday.
A man, a woman and a girl had been shot and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police identified the girl as 17-year-old Samiya A. Shelton-Tillman. Cartez Daniels, 40, and a girl whose name has not yet been released also were slain, Bolingbrook police spokesman Anthony Columbus said.
A 34-year-old woman was wounded and listed in stable condition Monday at a hospital. Two boys, ages 3 and 14, were in the home at the time of the shooting, but were not harmed.
Police said Monday that a 17-year-old suspect in the shootings was detained.
The teen’s name was not released and Bolingbrook police spokesman Anthony Columbus said Monday that “all indications are he was the sole offender.”
A crime scene investigation was being conducted in the community about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Chicago, police said.
Neighbor Melinda Taylor told the Chicago Tribune that she heard a loud thud Sunday night prior to first responders arriving at the home across the street.
Taylor said her son plays with a teen who lives in the home where the shooting occurred and that the family there never stuck out.
“They just came and go and went to work, like everybody else,” she said.
