A 17-year-old boy has been fatally shot on the far west side of Rockford.

Officers were called at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and found the teen suffering from multiple gunshot wounds on a residential driveway. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The teen's identity hasn't been released pending notification of family members.
