One boy was rescued and another was still missing after they fell into a lake in northwest suburban Wauconda.

The two boys became distressed and fell from a paddleboat about 7:20 p.m. in Bangs Lake, Wauconda police said in a statement.

A nearby fisherman heard screaming and was able to pull out a 10-year-old boy from the water, police said.

About 10 p.m., the Wauconda Fire District switched to a recovery effort for the missing 9-year-old boy, police said.

Bangs Lake will be closed while recovery efforts continue, police said.
