Illinois suspect accused of shooting 2 boys outside Chicago library in broad daylight

Illinois man Adam Avizius was arrested for allegedly shooting a 12-year-old and a 16-year-old outside the Legler Regional Library in West Garfield Park, Chicago.

An Illinois man has been arrested for allegedly shooting two boys outside a library in Chicago's West Garfield Park neighborhood Tuesday.

Adam Avizius, 37, is accused of wounding a 12-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy outside the Legler Regional Library Branch of the Chicago Public Library.

The Chicago Police Department told Fox News Digital that Avizius has been charged with one felony count of aggravated battery discharge of a firearm.

It is unclear if Avizius intended to shoot the adolescents, or if their injuries were collateral damage.
