AURORA, Ill. (AP) – A suburban Chicago man and a juvenile have been charged in connection with a violent Aurora carjacking that left a mother of two paralyzed. Authorities say Kimberly Weibring was eating in her car parked outside a fast-food restaurant on Jan. 16 when at least two people attempted to carjack her SUV. The pair pulled the 47-year-old Weibring out of her vehicle, shot her in the back, and drove away in her vehicle. Twenty-six-year-old Edward James McGee of Harvey and a 16-year-old boy have been charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated vehicular hijacking, armed violence, and two counts of possession of a stolen vehicle. McGee is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail in the Kane County jail.
