Aurora Standoff Ends With Juvenile In Custody

AURORA, IL — A juvenile is in custody after what started with shots fired and ended in a standoff Sunday afternoon. The incident took place in the 500 and 600 blocks of Lake Street Sunday afternoon, according to a news release from Aurora Police Department spokesperson Paris Lewbel.

Police say they got to the scene of the reported shooting in the 600 block of Lake Street just before 5 p.m. and that two juvenile males "took off running." Officers began to pursue one of the suspects as he ran and shouted for him to stop.

The suspect went inside a home in the 500 block of Lake and officers used loudspeakers to ask for the suspect to get out of the home. A female came out of the house at first, Lewbel said.

A short time later, police came into the home and another female and male came out.

Lewbel said the juvenile was eventually taken into custody and interviewed. Forensics officers came to the scene shortly after to collect evidence.
