OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) — Police say a shooting occurred at a mall full of Christmas shoppers in suburban Chicago, injuring four people.
The incident at Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook began with two people involved in a shootout in a corridor.
Police Chief James Kruger says the injuries were not life-threatening. Kruger says three people who were shot might have been hit by ricocheting bullets.
One person was in custody, and police were looking for another suspect.
The outdoor mall is a major shopping destination about 15 miles west of Chicago.
Shoppers who were interviewed as they were gradually released say they took cover in stores and dressing rooms.
