Authorities in Will County say a 14-year-old boy was fatally shot by a bullet apparently fired into his Lockport home.

A spokesman for the Will County sheriff's office says the teen and his 16-year-old brother were in a bedroom at the front of the home when both were wounded. Spokesman Ken Kaupas (KAW'-puhs) says the older boy's injuries aren't considered life-threatening.

The Will County coroner's office has identified the teen killed as Deonte Lesley.

The shooting happened in unincorporated Will County near Lockport, about 25 miles southwest of Chicago.
