1 man shot, another beaten during brawl at O’Hare International Airport

CHICAGO — As if having a tourist get shot while walking with her young son downtown wasn’t bad enough, police this morning are investigating a shooting that occurred outside a terminal at O’Hare International Airport overnight. Unlike Sunday’s shooting in Streterville, a suspect is in custody for the latest incident.

In a media statement, CPD said a suspect was in custody after the shooting occurred when “an altercation occurred between multiple individuals outside of Terminal 2” around 12:54 a.m. A 25-year-old man suffered two gunshot wounds to his lower body. Police said his condition had been stabilized at Lutheran General Hospital.



Here’s what else we’ve learned: Shortly before the shooting, police at O’Hare received a call about a fight in progress near the baggage claim carousels at door 2A. The fight continued outside the terminal doors. Moments later, one of the men involved in the fight produced a long gun, possibly a mini-AK47-style weapon, and began shooting outside door 2C.

Police initially believed a second person had also been shot at the airport, but it turned out that his injuries were the result of being beaten, according to a first responder who was at the scene. He was also taken to Lutheran General.


Both the man who was shot and the man who was beaten have local addresses.

One witness said the gunman retrieved the weapon from a car, opened fire, and then returned to the vehicle, and an officer at the scene said about 30 shell casings were lying outside the terminal. The airport’s web of surveillance cameras recorded almost the entire incident from multiple angles.



In addition to the shooting victim, bullets struck the terminal building and at least one window. And a hotel shuttle bus driver contacted police because two bullets hit his vehicle as he left the airport with a passenger.

Police closed off the lower-level arrival lanes during the investigation, but operations returned to normal by 5:15 a.m., according to the airport’s X feed.

Saeed.....its the truth.....

The Liberals in the democrat party has destroyed our large cities by not prosecuting crime and making consequences almost nothing.....

There are some, you know it, that can not be a part of society without the threat of severe consequences for bad actions....the threat has been taken away, the consequences are not severe enough.

In your society that's not the case, I applaud you.

It’s not the culture in my state or town.

But it’s true in the Democrat run cities even in my state.

And it's also true in all the Democrat run cities across the entire nation, no matter how red or blue the state.

It’s fixable, of course, and it’s disgraceful that it goes unfixed.

Chicago has become a cesspool of constant crime.

Not even their mainstream press can be trusted to tell the truth about it.

And it’s a 100% Democrat problem.

O'Hare Shooting Update
We'd swear that this was all made up, but the truth is sometimes even stranger than fiction:

A wild shoot-out exposed the lack of license plate readers at O’Hare Airport, where gunmen fled in cars after wounding a self-proclaimed rapper, police sources say.

“How is it that we don’t have those readers at the airport when we have them all over the city?” a police supervisor said, adding that such readers could have helped in the investigation.

Hope you didn't say that on camera, boss.

It's a good question though - what with all the federal money available and airports being a favorite target of terrorists, you'd think that cameras would cover all possible angles and approaches to the terminals, access points, and the airfield itself.

Nope, and it took this early morning stupidity to reveal it:

Nearly 60 shell casings were retrieved outside Terminal 2 after two rappers from Austin and their West Side companions deboarded a Spirit Airlines flight and got into a violent argument in baggage claim, leading to the shooting at 12:10 a.m. Wednesday.

Chicago police officials haven’t announced a motive for the attack in the arrivals area on the lower level. But they know two separate groups stepped off a flight from Houston and made their way to baggage claim, where the quarrel between the rappers erupted, according to a police report and sources. Screaming expletives and throwing punches, the brawl escalated and moved into a vestibule before spilling into the street outside.

After someone in the melee called a “gun car,” its occupants jumped out and began firing an AK-47-type rifle and a 9mm gun at people on the sidewalk, a police source said.

A "gun car." Who knew that the rap industry had their own SORT cars patrolling the airports? And who'd have guessed that someone who flew in on Spirit Airlines would ever engage in anti-social type behavior?

Real nice airport there Conehead.

Truly unbelievable.

No surveillance cameras to record license plates going to and leaving an international airport?!

Who the hell is in charge there?!

Oh, yes.

We’ve already established that.
