Ambulance 10’s crew transporting one critical patient.
Ambulance 11’s crew transporting two stable patients.
The third injured person also apparently has a GSW — but the information was not confirmed.
There is also police activity at the Deerfield Portillo’s, which is ironic because protesters gathered outside the Deerfield Portillo’s at the grand opening in November 2016 to demonstrate to persuade Portillo’s to ban guns at all of Portillo’s locations. The Deerfield Portillo’s is located at 700 Lake Cook Road, about 1200 feet northwest of the Metra train station. [Train passengers were eventually evacuated or disembarked from the Metra train, and were staged near Home Depot and Portillo’s just northwest of the scene of a police shootout and police-involved shooting that eventually killed a murder suspect being investigated for a homicide in Evergreen Park Thursday night.]
