Chicago Police have arrested two teens Thursday in connection with the rock-throwing incident that shut down the Chicago Skyway for two hours.

At least seven cars were damaged by rocks thrown at 105th Street and Indianapolis Blvd. Wednesday night. Authorities shut down the Skyway because they initially believed that someone was randomly shooting at passing cars.

Police worked with Chicago Public Schools officials to identify the teens, ages 14 and 15. Each was charged with a felony count of vehicular endangerment and six counts of misdemeanor criminal damage to property.
