BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) — One person is killed and another is critically wounded after a shooting at a WeatherTech facility Saturday morning.
Police said around 6:25 a.m., officers were dispatched to WeatherTech Way for reports of a person shot.
Police confirmed one person has been pronounced dead, another is in critical condition, and the third victim has been released from the hospital.
The alleged offender fled the building, but was located and taken into custody at approximately 9:25 am.
Sen. Eric Mattson (D-IL) issued a statement on the shooting:
“My heart goes out to the victims and their families, and I pray that the three people who’ve been shot will recover. While much remains to be learned about the perpetrator, what’s clear is that this individual should not have had a gun because they were not mentally fit to be a responsible gun owner. We need real gun reform, and we need it now. Without taking action, we continue to put people and first responders at risk of devastation and tragedy.”
Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) also responded saying:
“Today, our community has been shattered by yet another act of senseless gun violence. Words cannot express the heartbreak the victims and their families are feeling right now. My thoughts are with them during these difficult times. This is a statement I had hoped I would never have to make again in my career. Just three years ago, a shooting at Henry Pratt in Aurora took five innocent lives and injured six police officers. Fourteen years ago, one of my first official acts as a Congressman was to attend memorial services for the victims of the NIU shootings in DeKalb. No one should have to worry about random gun violence while going about their normal lives, and we cannot accept this as a new reality. While the details are still developing, it’s clear we owe a debt of gratitude to the law enforcement and first responders who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, and rush into harm’s way to protect innocent people.”
