A 21-year-old woman was killed and a police officer sustained injuries in a shooting Sunday at the Food 4 Less grocery store in south suburban Oak Forest, authorities said.

Josh Graham told NBC 5 he witnessed what happened prior to the shooting inside the grocery store.

Graham was driving with his family a few blocks away on 159th Street when he said he saw the woman with the gun. "A car pulled out of the Subway parking lot and t-boned her, and the lady got out of the car her gun drawn walking toward the SUV," he said."The lady with the gun came out of the car lot right next to our vehicle, and she basically looked right into our face."

Approximately 40 minutes after the initial tweet, city officials said the suspect was in custody and said there was no longer a threat to the public. The shooting is under investigation by the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force. "It’s scary, you can’t even go do something as routine as your Sunday grocery shopping without having to worry if you’re going to go home," Human said.
