Chicago police detectives were also outside the school on Tuesday, handing out flyers, in the hopes that someone will be able to identify the shooter.

Friday afternoon, as students were leaving for the day, someone started shooting outside Juarez High School. Two teens – 14-year-old Nathan Billegas and 15-year-old Brandon Perez – were killed, and two other teens, a boy and girl, both 15, were wounded.
A source close to the school told CBS 2's Jackie Kostek that me all four victims – three boys and a girl – were Juarez high school students. He said the shooting targeted the three boys, while the girl was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
