Teen in critical after Streamwood shooting

One person remains hospitalized after being shot by a man wearing a Halloween mask while riding his bike in the 900 block of Miller Road Sunday night in Streamwood, police officials said Tuesday.

Police were dispatched to the area at about 10:51 p.m. where a man was bleeding with gunshot wounds to the shoulder and back, official police reports show.
