GURNEE, IL (WTAQ) – A 19-year-old Appleton woman is among the three people injured after a shooting in a parking lot at Six Flags Great America on Sunday night.
Officers responded to the amusement park around 7:50 p.m. on Sunday for reports of shots fired.
“The shooting … was not a random act, and appeared to be a targeted incident that occurred outside the park,” police said in a statement posted to Facebook.
Additional detail about the suspects, including the number of people who fired shots, wasn’t immediately released.
A 17-year-old boy from Aurora, Illinois, also suffered a thigh wound. He and the Appleton woman were taken to a hospital and their wounds were described as non-life-threatening. A third victim had a shoulder injury and declined to be taken to a hospital.
