BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) -- One person is dead and another is critically wounded after a shooting at a WeatherTech facility Saturday morning.
Police said around 6:25 a.m., officers were dispatched to WeatherTech Way for reports of a person shot.
Police confirmed one person has been pronounced dead, another is in critical condition, and a third victim has been released from the hospital.
The alleged shooter, who police have identified as Charles C. McKnight Jr, of Chicago, fled the building but was located at the back of a home in the 500 block of Larkspur Lane and taken into custody at approximately 9:26 am. Police also recovered a handgun.
Police say the preliminary investigation indicated that near the end of the overnight shift, employees at WeatherTech confronted McKnight for allegedly robbing two coworkers, stealing a watch and a wallet at gunpoint. This started an argument that led to the shooting, which police say does not appear to be premeditated.
