Illinois State Police said they were called at 12:32 a.m. for a shooting on northbound I-57 at 127th Street with injuries. State Police said one person was taken to a local hospital with injuries.
A source told CBS News Chicago the driver of the car waved down a Calumet Park police officer and pulled into the Days Inn parking lot for help.
The driver was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with a gunshot wound to the arm, a source said.
Illinois State Police were seen investigating a car with a bullet hole outside the Days Inn house after the shooting. State police confirmed that the car with the bullet hole was the same one damaged in the shooting on I-57.
Following the shooting, the northbound side of the expressway was closed from 147th Street just past the Tri-State Tollway all the way to 127th Street. Northbound I-57 reopened at 5:25 a.m., state police said.
