SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - A Cook County man was arrested early Friday morning following a shooting incident at his home in Schaumburg.
Police say 37-year-old Jacob Tamillo allegedly fired multiple shots from his balcony near the 1200 Cambia Drive at approximately 8:20 p.m.
An officer was in the area responding to a neighbor's complaint when the officer heard gunshots.
Witnesses say the shots came from a balcony and identified the shooter as Tamillo due to their previous interactions with him from living in the same neighborhood.
Police say Tamillo retreated into his apartment and would not cooperate with the officer's requests for him to exit.
