2 Shot At Walmart In Evergreen Park: Report

On Wednesday, a gunman fired inside the Walmart Supercenter at 95th and Western in Evergreen Park, injuring two people during a busy shopping hour; a suspect is in custody, officials said.
Police say the shooting appears to have started after an argument between two men who apparently knew each other, but authorities have not released how they knew one another and the motive remains unclear.
Inside the store, multiple shots struck the 23-year-old man in the leg, causing severe blood loss, while a 70-year-old woman was hit in the foot outside, Saunders said.
Officers recovered a firearm and secured the scene after a swift apprehension about 15 minutes later in the 9300 block of Country Club Drive, following a homeowner’s report.
Detectives at the Evergreen Park Walmart began an extensive investigation as employees and shoppers described chaos during the busy hour, and the vehicle that dropped off the gunman was found about five miles away.
