Entrances to Chicago O’Hare International Airport were blocked with a heavy police presence and ramps were closed after a man was shot during a fight outside a terminal early Wednesday morning, police said.
Just before 1 a.m., police responded to a fight involving multiple people outside of Terminal 2 on the street, officials said. During the fight, shots were fired, police said, and a 25-year-old man was shot twice in his lower body.
He was transported to a nearby hospital where he was last listed in stable condition, police said.
Early Wednesday morning, detectives were questioning a second person regarding the incident, officials said.
Photos and video from outside Terminal 2 on the lower level showed a heavy police presence, with some entrances to baggage claim near entrance 2A and 2C closed, NBC 5 reporter Sandra Torres reported.
As of 5 a.m. Wednesday, the ramp leading up to Arrivals for passenger pickup at the busy airport was also closed, Torres reported.
Witnesses staying at a hotel nearby described the harrowing scene.
“I heard a bunch of rapid fire and I opened up my curtain and I looked and I saw people scattering, then I heard a bunch of individual pops,” James Vanshack said.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
