A person was shot and wounded Thursday night in the emergency room of a hospital in the city of Evanston, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, officials said.  

Evanston police said in a statement that the shooting occurred in the ER of Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital, located at 2650 Ridge Ave. 

The victim sustained injuries believed to be non-life-threatening, police said. 

Spencer Walrath, a spokesperson for the hospital, told CBS News in a statement that a suspect was “quickly apprehended and taken into custody.”

“There is no active threat,” Walrath said. “The safety of our patients and team members is our top priority.”

No further details were immediately confirmed on the circumstances that led up to the shooting.   

A large police presence remained at the scene after the shooting, and the emergency room was placed on lockdown.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
