A 25-year-old man was shot outside Chicago's O'Hare International Airport early Wednesday morning following a fight that started near the baggage claim area of Terminal 2, according to Chicago police. The altercation escalated on a street outside the terminal, where the victim was shot twice in the lower body with an AK-47, resulting in about 30 shell casings being recovered at the scene. The victim was transported to Lutheran General Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. Witnesses described hearing 'rapid fire' and seeing 'people scattering' as the shooting unfolded. A bullet also shattered a window near the baggage claim area, and bullet holes were observed in windows and on the ground. Police are interviewing another individual in connection with the incident, and the investigation is ongoing. The incident led to the temporary closure of lower-level arrival lanes at all terminals, which were fully reopened by 5:15 a.m. Airlines operating out of Terminal 2 include JetBlue, Air Canada, and Alaska Airlines.
