Police say one person was in custody after a vehicle drove into Woodfield Mall and was seen on social media smashing displays in the mall Friday afternoon.
There was “no evidence of an active shooter situation,” according to a statement from Schaumburg police.
“At this time, no injuries have been reported,” police said.
Some video and photos from the scene appeared to show authorities escorting someone wearing a long-sleeve red shirt from the mall, with the person’s hands behind their back.
Schaumburg police and fire officials were at the scene, as were FBI officials and officials from the Cook County Sheriff’s office, who were assisting local officials.
“The FBI is aware of the situation at Woodfield Mall and is assisting at the request of local law enforcement,” according to a statement from the Chicago office of the FBI. “There is no known threat to public safety at this time.”
In the video shared on twitter, someone shouts “This is not happening right now,” as the SUV drives through the mall near a Forever 21 store, smashing a display in the middle of the mall as people run after the SUV. The SUV then appears to smash into a store.
“Oh my God,” the person says....
“I got to the center of the mall, I saw this car. It’s a black SUV crashed against a pillar in front of Clark’s shoe store. The front tire was flat. Two firemen were walking around it.” He took a picture and "all of a sudden the tact team came in with assault rifles and yelling, “Get out, get out, get out of the mall.”
On his way out, he saw police walking a man through the smashed doors of the Sears store. He was in his 20s, stocky, dressed in a red shirt and was in handcuffs. “He looked pretty calm,” Thomas said. Then he saw “line after line of police pouring into the parking lot.”

Also, I agree with you WTG, don’t take video, don’t go closer etc. Get out and get as far as away as you can. You won’t know if there were other things planned, other people involved, etc.

Well, it is true that Millennials want stores they can park in front of. Big trend these days. Seems like an extreme approach to it though.
