1 Dead, 2 Injured In WeatherTech Shooting: Bolingbrook Police

BOLINGBROOK, IL — One person was killed and two were injured in a shooting early Saturday at WeatherTech, authorities said.

Officers were dispatched just before 6:30 a.m. to 1 Weathertech Way for a report of a shooting, according to police, who said the suspect fled but was taken into custody around 9:30 a.m.

Three people were shot, one fatally, police said. As of about 10:15 a.m., one victim was in critical condition and another had been released from the hospital, according to police.

Residents should avoid the area of Remington Boulevard and Woodcreek Drive, according to police.

WeatherTech makes automotive accessories such as window deflectors, truckbed covers, seat protectors and floor mats. Its logistics campus, manufacturing center and dealer will call are all located at 1 WeatherTech Way, which is across Remington Boulevard from AdventHealth Bolingbrook.

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-11, issued a statement Saturday afternoon in response to the shooting.

"Today, our community has been shattered by yet another act of senseless gun violence," he said.

"This is a statement I had hoped I would never have to make again in my career. Just three years ago, a shooting at Henry Pratt in Aurora took five innocent lives and injured six police officers. Fourteen years ago, one of my first official acts as a Congressman was to attend memorial services for the victims of the NIU shootings in DeKalb. No one should have to worry about random gun violence while going about their normal lives, and we cannot accept this as a new reality."
