Shooting at Illinois' Six Flags Great America leaves three people injured

The Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, revealed that three individuals were hurt in a gunshot that occurred in the parking lot on Sunday night. According to Rachel Kendziora, the park's communication specialist, the rounds were fired from a single car, which then left "quickly" after the incident. The moment help arrived, two persons were taken to the hospital by emergency personnel. According to Kendziora, a third injured person denied medical care.

About one hour's drive north of Chicago is the city of Gurnee. When the shooting happened, Michael Pontrelli and his family were in the park. He explained to the media that he had just exited the Superman ride when he saw individuals in groups fleeing the gate. My family and I hid between these two walls while waiting for clearance when we "then (saw a) swarm of parents moving their kids," he said. Police were escorting everyone out while charging in bearing arms. Pontrelli's videotape of the scene reveals a substantial police presence outside the park.
