Three people were injured at a Six Flags amusement park outside Chicago on Sunday when someone opened fire in the park’s parking lot.
The shooting happened at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, about an hour north of Chicago. The shooter fled the scene after the incident and no suspect is in custody.
“This evening, three people were injured outside the park when shots were fired from a single vehicle. The vehicle immediately drove away. Park security and on-site Gurnee Police Department Substation officers responded immediately. Law enforcement is investigating,” a statement released by the park read.
