A 57-year-old man is dead after he was shot during a jewelry store robbery in a suburban mall on Wednesday, with shoppers in nearby retailers forced to dive for cover amid the sound of gunfire.
According to police, the man was working as a security guard at a store inside of the River Oaks Mall in suburban Calumet City on Wednesday afternoon when armed robbers entered the building.
Witnesses say the suspects opened fire, striking the guard multiple times, before fleeing the store. “I heard a round of shots in Macy’s, but it wasn’t just a regular gunshot. It was like an automatic ,” shopper Tracy McGrew said. “It was just surreal.”Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters. McGrew says she was doing some early Christmas shopping on Wednesday when the gunfire erupted. She says she was with a clerk at the time.
“I saw the brick wall, and I thought ‘those could stop bullets,’ so I went right there,’” she said. “So the two of us locked ourselves into a storage room and called 911.”
