Witnesses said the shooting broke out when individuals in two separate cars opened fire outside the AutoZone Audacity.com.
Reports indicate the drivers may have collided around a block away from the Autozone before getting into a shootout in the parking lot.
The gunmen allegedly jumped from their car and opened fire, witnesses said.
A bystander told WBBM that the rapid gunfire was so loud that she thought the shooting took place on top of the dry cleaners she was near.
An AutoZone employee also said no one in the store was affected by the gunfire.
