A 14-year-old boy was killed during a shootout at a gas station in suburban North Chicago on Sunday, police said.

The teen exchanged gunfire with someone in a car at a Citgo parking lot in the 1000 block of Jackson Street around 5:15 p.m., North Chicago police said in a statement.

The boy was struck by gunfire and pronounced dead later at a hospital, police said. His name was not released.

The people in the car drove away but crashed at a Waukegan Home Depot parking lot after trying to outrun Waukegan police officers. Three suspects were arrested after running inside the business.
