OAK LAWN, Ill. (CBS) -- A bystander was grazed by a bullet when three men wearing construction vests began shooting at a gas station in Oak Lawn late Tuesday.

Oak Lawn police said at 5 p.m., they were called to the BP station at 11040 S. Pulaski Rd. for shots fired.

They learned three men wearing high-visibility construction vests had gotten out of a dark Dodge and began firing at a white Chevrolet suburban – whose driver was pumping gas.

The driver of the SUV ran toward the gas station, then back to his vehicle and drove away. The suspects also drove off in the Dodge, speeding away north on Pulaski Road.

Anyone with information is asked to call Oak Lawn police detectives at (708) 907-4051 or text tips to (708) 613-8477.
