The incident at Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook began with two males involved in a shootout in a corridor around 5:45 p.m., police Chief James Kruger said.
He said the injuries were not life-threatening. Three people who were shot were initially believed to have been hit by ricocheting bullets, but Kruger later said they were directly struck. A fourth person suffered an ankle injury while running away.
One person was in custody, and police were looking for another suspect, Kruger said.
"This is just a very unfortunate incident that is completely out of character for our area," the chief said.
