  • Several inbound lanes were closed initially and by about 6 a.m. most were reopened while the inbound Roosevelt exit ramp and the Roosevelt entrance ramp remained closed for the investigation.
  • Reporters at the scene saw evidence markers by a green vehicle and officers from ISP and CPD canvassing the area as investigators processed the roadway.
  • Authorities have not publicly confirmed that a shooting occurred or whether anyone was injured and the Illinois State Police directed questions about the incident to the Chicago Police Department.
