CHICAGO (AP) — Police in Chicago took a man into custody after
shots were fired outside a downtown federal building early
Tuesday, authorities said.
No one was injured and there was only minor damage to federal
property, the Department of Homeland Security said in a
statement.
Police and federal agents responded to Chicago’s downtown Loop
district overnight after a security guard reported there was an
active shooter near the Kluczynski Federal Building.
The office tower is home to a number of federal agencies
including the IRS, the Social Security Administration, and the
Labor Department. Illinois U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy
Duckworth also have offices there, and a federal courthouse is
nearby.
It was not immediately known whether the suspect was targeting
the government building or what his motive might have been.
Bullet holes were seen in an office building across the street.
Chicago police said they recovered one firearm and that charges
were pending. They did not release any other information.
