The alleged offender fled the building, but was later located and placed in custody at approximately 9:25 a.m., police said.
Police later said one victim has died and another is in critical condition. A third victim has been released from the hospital.
There were multiple police units in the area for an ongoing investigation into the shooting. Police asked residents to avoid the area of Remington Boulevard and Woodcreek Drive.
Democratic Congressman Bill Foster issued a statement on the shooting.
“Today, our community has been shattered by yet another act of senseless gun violence. Words cannot express the heartbreak the victims and their families are feeling right now. My thoughts are with them during these difficult times,” Foster said. “This is a statement I had hoped I would never have to make again in my career. Just three years ago, a shooting at Henry Pratt in Aurora took five innocent lives and injured six police officers. Fourteen years ago, one of my first official acts as a Congressman was to attend memorial services for the victims of the NIU shootings in DeKalb. No one should have to worry about random gun violence while going about their normal lives, and we cannot accept this as a new reality… While the details are still developing, it’s clear we owe a debt of gratitude to the law enforcement and first responders who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, and rush into harm’s way to protect innocent people.”
