Police in Darien,
a small city about 30 miles (48 km) outside of Chicago, received
reports of shots fired inside the store on Thursday afternoon,
Deputy Chief John Cooper said.
Officers arrived to find one victim with a single gunshot wound
to the shoulder who was taken to a local hospital for treatment,
Cooper said.
Police said the wound was non-life-threatening.
Cooper said police were searching for a man who fled the scene,
but that the store was deemed safe. Police view the shooting as
an isolated incident and no other victims had been located,
Cooper said.
A local CBS affiliate, citing an employee in the store, said
that shooting broke out after an argument between two people at
a food stand. One person pulled a gun and shot another, CBS
reported.
Wal-Mart did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
