Chicago O’Hare Airport Shooting Leaves One Injured Following Altercation

One person was injured after a fight broke out inside a terminal at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, which escalated into a shooting outside, according to reports.

Footage captured by Fox32Chicago showed a bullet hole in one of the windows of Terminal 2 following the incident, which occurred around 1 a.m. this morning.

“They started fighting, regular fighting, after that they [went] to the car, brought a gun, and then started shooting,” an airport worker identified as Mahmoud told the Chicago Sun-Times.

A 25-year-old man who was shot twice in the lower body is now in stable condition at a local hospital, Fox32Chicago reported, citing police. Another man is reportedly being questioned by investigators.

It’s unclear what led up to the altercation or how many people were involved.

“I heard what sounded like just rapid fire, like automatic fire,” retired police officer James Van Schaick told CapturedNews. “I looked out of my window. I’m in the hotel right across the way, and I saw people scattering. I was at a high angle, so I couldn’t see very well, but I saw people just scatter in both directions, and then I heard a bunch of single shots.”
