Two teenage boys have been charged with allegedly shooting a former Chicago police superintendent with a paintball gun outside his Chatham home over Memorial Day weekend.
Police said the boys, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old, were arrested a week apart and each charged with a felony count of aggravated battery to a person older than 60-years-old.Terry Hillard, 78, was outside his home around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 29, when a person opened the passenger side door of a red Kia and fired at him, striking the former police superintendent four times on the right side of his chest. Hillard was knocked to the ground but was not seriously injured.
It’s still unclear if the attack was targeted or random. There were no other reports of paintball attacks in the area that day, according to a police spokeswoman. A source told the Sun-Times said that if Hillard had been shot in the head instead of his body, the outcome could have been far worse.
