School officials say at least one of three teens who were shot in Carpentersville and found seeking help in Algonquin is a Barrington High School student and staff are providing support to the family.

Carpentersville Deputy Police Chief Kevin Stankowitz said four people were sitting in a car parked in a driveway in the 1200 block of Navajo Drive in Carpentersville on Wednesday evening.

The occupants included a 17-year-old boy, an 18-year-old man and two 19-year-old men.

They were approached by two suspects, later identified as Rafael Ruiz, Jr., 21, of Aurora, and a 17-year-old Carpentersville boy.

A “confrontation” ensued and three of the four people in the car were shot by the suspects, Stankowitz said.
