In previous instances, La Grange police have been more secretive about juvenile incidents than departments in towns such as Western Springs and Darien.
In May 2023, a juvenile was arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery involving great bodily harm. It was in connection with a North Campus attack.
La Grange police did not give the age, gender or hometown of the person and did not say whether the person was a student at the school. They said they would not release any of that information because the suspect was a juvenile.
