ORLAND PARK: Authorities say a man was shot and killed at a suburban Chicago mall and the suspect remains at large.
Orland Park police say the 19-year-old was shot in the center of Orland Square Mall and ran away before collapsing outside a clothing store Monday evening.
The man later died at the hospital. Deputy Police Chief Joseph Mitchell says a bystander suffered a graze wound to the leg and was being treated at another hospital.
Mitchell says security video showed a male shooter fleeing the mall but it's unclear if he continued on foot or got into a vehicle.
Mitchell calls the shooting an "isolated incident," saying video shows the two people involved knew each other and that the victim was "targeted.
" Police departments from several neighbouring towns, as well as the FBI and ATF responded to the mall about 20 miles (32.2 kilometers) southwest of Chicago.
