The caller related that three individuals were involved in an argument in the parking lot. During the argument, a gunshot was heard, and the three subjects fled on foot. Police arrived on scene and located evidence that a person had been shot.
It was later discovered that a victim, a male subject out of Bolingbrook, suffered a gunshot wound, and transported himself to a local hospital for treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
