2 Shot Outside Of Hickory Hills Restaurant

HICKORY HILLS, IL — Two men were shot outside of a popular Hickory Hills restaurant early Friday morning. Both were transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

The shooting unfolded around 12:30 a.m. at PrimeTime Restaurant, 7750 W. 95th St. A preliminary investigation revealed that two men were walking back to their vehicle or vehicles when they were shot.

Police said the incident was not a random act of violence, and is believed to be related to an earlier altercation inside the restaurant.

“People can’t keep their tempers to themselves,” said Deputy Chief Adam Gulczynski, of the Hickory Hills Police Department.

Jim Les, whose family owns Prime Time, said the restaurant had nothing to do with shooting.

“Just some morons outside started it,” Les told Patch. “Luckily none of our customers were outside when it happened.”

The investigation is ongoing and no one has been charged.
