Carpentersville police fatally shoot armed suspect; two people wounded

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 preliminary investigation revealed the shooter and the victims knew each other, police said. The general public isn’t in danger, police said.

Carpentersville police and Illinois State Police are investigating because officers were involved. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be turned over to the Kane County state’s attorney’s office for review.

No other details were available Saturday.
