Suicide

An unidentified 16-year-old boy reportedly shot himself in the head after a police pursuit related to a snowmobile theft. When police were called, three teens were being detained in a field near the DuPage River by a man who said they had snowmobiles that may have been stolen from his residence, police said. One of the boys fled north across the field. The chase ended after police said the boy went into a garage and shot himself.
