Three people were shot and wounded Sunday evening in the parking lot of the Six Flags Great America theme park in Gurnee, authorities and park officials said.
The three victims were hit by shots fired from a single vehicle that fled the scene, according to a statement by a spokeswoman for the park. Dozens of emergency vehicles responded following the shooting. Two of the victims were still being evaluated at an area hospital, while a third victim declined treatment, according to the statement. Their ages and genders weren’t released.
Illinois State Police confirmed the shooting, saying it sent troopers to assist but directed further inquiry to Gurnee police and the Lake County sheriff’s office. Officials with those offices didn’t immediately respond for comment.
