Woman shot at Matteson Amazon fulfillment center

The Sunday shooting of the 33-year-old woman, who was grazed in her head and suffered injuries that did not threaten her life, was likely sparked by an earlier fight involving staffers in the parking lot, officials said.

A woman was injured during a shooting Sunday night at an Amazon fulfillment center in south suburban Matteson, according to officials.

About 9:30 p.m., officers responded to reports of shots fired at the Amazon Fulfillment Center, 7001 Vollmer Road, and found a 33-year-old woman with a graze wound to her head, according to Matteson police.

The woman was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn injuries that didn’t threaten her life, police said.

Preliminary investigations indicate the shooting was likely retaliation for an unreported fight that occurred in the parking lot earlier in the night between employees, police said.

Police said they thought the incident was isolated.

Officials have not provided more details.
