A gunman shot two people in Carpentersville early Saturday before being killed by police, authorities said.

The violence occurred at La Ilusion Restaurant & Bar, which is in a small shopping center on the 1300 block of Kings Road. It stemmed from a domestic situation, Illinois State Police said in a news release.

Officers were called to the restaurant a little after midnight following initial gunshots. Upon arrival, the officers saw a man shooting at someone and shot him, the release said.

The two people shot by the suspect were hospitalized. One was in critical condition and the other was stable Saturday morning, authorities said.

A truck crashed into a building in downtown Barrington and fled the scene and then a police officer was involved in a crash responding to the call, officials said.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded last Wednesday to assist the Barrington Police Department following a crash involving one of their squad cars.

Lake County Sheriff’s Office Chief Christopher Covelli said the crash occurred around 8:55 a.m. at Route 14 and Lake Cook Road in Barrington.

An officer with the Barrington Police Department was operating an unmarked 2023 Dodge Charger.

The squad was traveling southeast on Route 14 just northwest of the Lake Cook Road intersection in the outside lane of traffic.

The police officer received an emergency call for service and activated the squad’s emergency lights, Covelli said.

Editorial note: Darby Hills, “…formally submitted her letter of resignation from her position as Trustee for the Village of Barrington Hills, effective September 1, 2025.” Unfortunately, we cannot cite anything of any significance she contributed in her 3.5 years seated on the Board of Trustees and that is a pity.
