Two people were injured in a shooting early Sunday morning on the Bishop Ford Freeway, causing temporary lane closures and concern among overnight drivers in the Chicago area.
The incident happened around 1:24 a.m. in the northbound lanes near 115th Street. Authorities said the victims managed to transport themselves to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for their injuries. Their current conditions have not been publicly disclosed.
In the immediate aftermath, state police shut down the northbound lanes to secure the scene and begin their investigation. Traffic was redirected at 130th Street, leading to delays for early-morning commuters and drivers passing through the area.
By approximately 3:30 a.m., officials confirmed that all lanes had reopened and normal traffic flow had resumed.
Details surrounding the shooting remain limited. Investigators have not yet shared information about possible suspects, motives, or whether the victims were specifically targeted. No arrests have been announced.
Incidents like this highlight ongoing concerns about roadway safety, especially during late-night and early-morning hours when visibility is lower and emergency response can be more complex.
Authorities continue to investigate and are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has relevant information to come forward.
