A 16-year-old boy faces felony assault and weapons charges after being accused of pointing a loaded handgun at a veteran Marengo police officer and threatening to shoot him before the officer shot the teen last month.

Before being shot by a veteran Marengo police officer last month, a 16-year-old boy pointed a loaded gun at the officer and told him he didn’t want to go back to jail, according to the most detailed account from police yet.

A loaded handgun was found at the scene of an officer-involved shooting in which a veteran Marengo police officer shot a 16-year-old who authorities said pointed a firearm at the officer late Saturday night
