5 shot dead in Chicago mall

TINLEY PARK (Illinois): Police were searching for a man they said fled a clothing store in a Chicago suburb where five woman were shot to death during an apparent robbery.

Officers swept through neighbouring shops, aisle by aisle, at the Brookside Marketplace strip mall shortly after the shootings on Saturday, but found no trace of the gunman.

Attempts to find him with dogs and a helicopter equipped with infrared sensors also failed, said authorities. Officers found the victims at the back of the Lane Bryant store after receiving an emergency call around 10:45 a.m. — AP
