Shots Fired Near Hooters Restaurant In Lansing

CHICAGO (CBS)-- Shots were fired in the parking lot of a Hooters restaurant in suburban Lansing.

Diners said they ran for cover in the middle of their meals.

Police said an unknown shooter fired shots at two people as they exited the building.

"One of the subjects, who has a valid carry and conceal permit to carry a firearm, returned fire at the offender," police said in a press release.

Police taped off the parking lot on Torrence Avenue near 170th Street.

"We were just eating, you know, me, my baby and my friend and all we heard next was gunshots. I want to say three, three gunshots in the inside of Hooters," Charnelle Harmon said.

That woman said she came to the suburbs to eat to escape this kind of violence.

CBS 2 reached out to the chain's corporate headquarters for a comment about the shooting but haven't heard back.

This is a developing story.
