Police are investigating after a person was shot at a suburban car festival on Saturday.
Scoop Waukegan closed early on its second day after a shooting broke out at the festival, according to a social media post shared around 7:50 p.m. by 4th Ward Alderman Victor Felix.
The annual two-day festival, that features live music, food and hundreds of vintage and custom vehicles from as early as the 1920s, was scheduled to close at 9 p.m.
“I am deeply saddened that an event intended to bring families together, support our local businesses, and celebrate the spirit of our community was impacted by an act of violence,” Felix said in the post. “Violence has no place in our community. We will continue working alongside our residents, community leaders, and public safety officials to strengthen security and preserve the spaces where our families can gather and enjoy themselves in peace.”
Police are investigating the incident and the person who was shot is alive and receiving medical attention as of Saturday evening, according to the alderman’s post.
“Please keep all those affected in your thoughts and prayers,” Felix said.
