Two Carpentersville men have been arrested in relation to a shooting Sunday evening that left a man hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

At 6:42pm Sunday evening, Elgin police officers responded to the 500 block of North McLean Boulevard for a reported shooting. Officers arrived on scene and located an adult male subject with apparent non-life-threatening injuries who was subsequently transported to an area hospital.

The identity of the injured man has not been released.

After an investigation of the incident, two 18-year-old males from Carpentserville were arrested and each charged by the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. The first was charged with Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, a Class X Felony; Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm, a Class 1 Felony; and four (4) counts of Aggravated Unlawful use of a Weapon, a Class 4 Felony.
