CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A 17-year-old boy, and a woman, 18, were wounded in a shooting in the parking lot of the River Oaks Center mall in south suburban Calumet City.
At about 6 p.m., officers responded to a call of shots fired outside of the mall, located at 96 River Oaks Center Drive, Calumet City Chief of Police Christopher Fletcher said at a news conference.
Officers found the teens seriously injured from gunshot wounds, Fletcher said. They were transported to area hospitals.
