Tinley Park: Five women were shot and killed inside a clothing store in Chicago on Saturday in what police said appeared to be a failed robbery.
A manhunt has been launched to find a suspect wearing black jeans, black waist-length winter coat and a black knit cap.
Tinley Park Police Sergeant TJ Grady said the victims were all found in the back of the Lane Bryant women's clothing store in an area not frequented by customers.
It appeared to be a robbery that "went rather poorly," he added.
Police confirmed that at least one of the victims was an employee of the store, located at the Brookside Marketplace shopping center in a southwestern suburb of Chicago.
