Three people were shot in the Six Flags Great America parking lot in Gurnee, prompting a large police presence.

According to a law enforcement official, the injuries are not considered life-threatening. Nobody is being held.

Two victims were transported to the area medical center with non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting at the theme park, while the third victim declined transport to the hospital, the police department said in a statement.

“The shooting this evening was not a random act, and appeared to be a targeted incident that occurred outside the park,” the statement said.

The amusement park was evacuated because it closes at 8 p.m.

A spokesperson for Six Flags confirmed the shooting, releasing the following statement:

Three people were injured this evening when shots were fired from a single vehicle in the parking lot. The vehicle immediately drove away. Park security personnel and officers from the on-site Gurnee Police Department Substation responded immediately. Emergency services responded, transporting two persons to the hospital for evaluation. A third person declined treatment.

The park closed early with guests and team members departing under direction of the Gurnee Police Department. Law enforcement is investigating.
