York Student Arrested After Argument Over Girl Led Him to Allegedly Shoot a Car

A York High School student was taken into custody early this week after a fight over a girl led him to allegedly shoot a car windshield, police said.

The 17-year-old had reportedly been having a disagreement with a former friend about a girl they both knew, the Pioneer Press reported. He was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and criminal damage to property.

York High School Principal Erin DeLuga said in a statement the school had been in contact with Elmhurst police since the incident unfolded the evening before.

“We will have a heightened sense of visibility and presence within the building, and the police will have an increased presence outside of the building throughout the day,” she wrote. “As always, our students’ safety remains our utmost priority.”

The teen is currently awaiting a juvenile court hearing.
