Three men charged in Gurnee shootout
[Chicago Tribune] Three men are facing gun charges after a shootout erupted in a busy Gurnee intersection Thursday afternoon, police said.All three men charged were in the same vehicle. The shooter from a second vehicle was not charged because he had a concealed carry permit, police said. William Meyer, deputy chief of the Gurnee Police Department, said both vehicles were traveling west on Washington Street when "the guns came out" at Greenleaf Street shortly after 1 p.m. "It's hard to say exactly what happened. No one really wanted to say," Meyer said. Nobody else was in the vehicles, according to Meyer, who said "there doesn't appear to be any connection" between the gunnies on either side of the shootout. Police only recovered two guns, but Meyer said all three men were charged with the same crimes because they were involved in the same shooting, even if they had different roles. Hector C. Arroyo, 36, Alvaro Ruiz, 28, and Ramon Corona, 23, all of Waukegan, have been charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon as a felon, unlawful use of a weapon as a gang member, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with no FOID, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with no concealed carry license, and mob action, police said.
