Carol Stream, Aurora Teens Accused Of Firing Shots Into Home

CAROL STREAM, IL — Two teens are in custody after police say they fired gunshots into a home in Carol Stream Sunday.

Jimmy Calan, 18, of Carol Stream, was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. A 16-year-old Aurora boy was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm in connection with the incident.

Police say Calan and the boy went to a home in the 600 block of Willow Wood around 3:30 a.m. and threw a rock through a sliding glass door. Police say someone inside the home opened the glass door, which prompted Calan and the teen to fire shots.

Calan and the teen are then accused of fleeing on foot. After a short chase, they were arrested by local police, who say they found a 9 mm handgun two feet from them. Prosecutors say 11 shell casings were also found on the ground outside the residence.

“The type of violent, irresponsible behavior alleged against Mr. Calan will not be tolerated in DuPage County and will be met with the full force and effect of the law,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a news release.

Berlin added, “Thankfully, no one in the residence was injured as a result of this alleged behavior."

Calan is currently being held in DuPage County Jail on $250,000 bond and is set to appear in court again Jan. 13. The teen is set to appear in court Dec. 29.
