1 dead, at least 20 hurt in Illinois shooting

TEHRAN, Jun. 18 (MNA) – At least 20 people were injured and one person has died in a shooting overnight at a celebration in Illinois, US, police say.

Some of the injured were transported to hospitals by ambulance and others walked in, DuPage County Deputy Sheriff Eric Swanson told reporters Sunday, CNN reported. 

Ten patients were transported to four hospitals with injuries ranging from graze wounds to more serious gunshot wounds, and two people were in critical condition, Joe Ostrander, battalion chief of the Tri-State Fire Protection District said earlier.

At least 12 ambulances responded to the scene, Ostrander added.

Witnesses say the shooting took place around 12:30 a.m. in a parking lot in Willowbrook, about 21 miles west of Chicago.

The motive behind the shooting is unclear and it is still an active investigation, Swanson said.
