It was not clear how many people were injured. Video from a local television station’s helicopter showed a large police response outside what arose to be a manufacturing or industrial facility. A local school district said it was sheltering students in place at the direction of law enforcement.
John Probst, a Henry Pratt employee who was in the building at the time of the shooting, told ABC 7 Chicago he caught the gunman as a coworker.
He said he saw the gunman “running down the aisle” with a pistol that had a green laser attached to it.
