BURR RIDGE, Ill. — A suspected gunman is dead after allegedly shooting two coworkers, one fatally, inside a Burr Ridge office building, according to police.
Just after 3 p.m., authorities arrived at 15 W 455 South Frontage Road following reports of a shooting.
Police Chief John Madden said the suspected gunman shot and killed a male coworker and wounded a female coworker.
Madden said the suspect fled the shooting scene but was located a short time later in the 7900 block of Madison, about a mile away from the office building.
“When officers learned of the suspect’s location and closed in, the offender shot himself and took his own life,” Madden said.
Police sources told WGN News that the suspect was found with a headshot wound.
No threat to the community remains.
According to police sources, the offender worked for a trucking company. The shooter was allegedly summoned to the Burr Ridge-area office for termination before the shooting, police sources added. Madden did not confirm those details, citing the preliminary stages of the investigation.
The names of the suspect and shooting victims will be released pending next of kin notification, police added.
No further information is expected to be released by police until Wednesday morning
