An SUV drove through a popular mall outside of Chicago on Friday afternoon, slamming into stores and kiosks and sending shoppers fleeing for safety.
A man is now in custody, Schaumburg police told CBS Chicago. The FBI's Chicago office is "assisting at the request of local law enforcement," spokeswoman Siobhan Johnson wrote in a statement to The Washington Post.
"There is no known threat to public safety," Johnson wrote.
Videos and posts on Twitter from people at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois, on Friday afternoon revealed a chaotic and terrifying scene. Witnesses told CBS Chicago that the black Chevy TrailBlazer drove through a mall entrance by the Sears department store and then into the middle of the large indoor mall. One person told CBS that the driver was navigating the car "like you would a shopping cart."
At one point, the vehicle paused in front of a Forever 21 store, then it moved on - just as a panicked man in a blue button-down ran in the opposite direction.
