A neighbor heard five shots, and then another shot just before 12:40 p.m. Friday and called 9-1-1. Police did a walk-around at the house and found at least one hole that looked like a bullet hole in a garbage can.
Two teens were found to be inside the home, and came to the door when requested by police. The teens were identified as Paul Padlo, 18, a resident at the house, and another teen [name, record expunged in Cook County Court], age 19, also of Arlington Heights.
