Police charged the Gregory Weidner, 17, of Tacoma Avenue with two counts of felonious assault. A North Side woman told police she was driving on Elm Street with another man about 4:25 p.m. when Weidner began yelling at her from the front yard of a home.
The woman said when she stopped the car to yell back, a man who was sitting on the porch of the Elm Street home handed Weidner a shotgun. Weidner then began firing at the car, reports state.
The woman told police she could feel the shotgun pellets flying by her head as she drove away. The pellets shattered the car's windshield, reports state.
The woman told police she drove to a home on New York Avenue and called 911. After speaking to the woman, police headed to the Elm Street home, reports state.
Weidner spotted the officers and ran. Several officers were then called to the area to search for him.
Weidner was eventually arrested at his Tacoma Avenue home. Five spent shotgun shells were later found in the yard of the Elm Street home.
