ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — Three teenage boys face attempted murder and other charges in a shooting outside a northern Illinois high school that wounded two students.

Hours after Tuesday’s shooting, the Winnebago County State’s Attorney authorized charging the teens, ages 15, 16 and 17, with two counts each of attempted murder and aggravated discharge of a weapon.

Officers who arrested the three teens after they fled the crash scene on foot also recovered two handguns.
