CHICAGO (WBBM) — A man was injured in a shooting outside Chicago O’Hare Airport near the arrival area of Terminal 2 during a fight, police said.
According to Chicago police, officers responded to 2 West Terminal Street just before 1 a.m. for reports of a fight between multiple people on the street.
Police said during the fight, a 25-year-old man was shot twice in the leg. He was taken to Lutheran General Hospital and is expected to recover.
Video from the scene shows a bullet hole in a terminal window with shattered glass on the street. At least four hours later, there was still a large police response on the lower level of Terminal 2. Construction crews worked to board up windows damaged by gunfire.
The arrival area reopened around 5:15 a.m.
A witness staying at a nearby hotel heard the shots being fired and looked out the window.
“I saw people scattering,” He said. “And then I heard a bunch of single shots.”
A second person is being interviewed by Area Five detectives, police confirmed.
This incident is under investigation.
