Police in west suburban Hanover Park are investigating after a woman was killed in a homicide early Monday morning, according to law enforcement.
At around 8:32 a.m., officers with the Hanover Park Police Department responded to a call of a shots fired and a person down in the 1300 block of Court P, police said in a Facebook post. A 41-year-old woman was found unresponsive at the scene and later pronounced dead, authorities said. While police said officers were originally called to a report of shots fired, it remained unclear if the woman sustained any gunshot wounds.
As a precaution, nearby schools were "placed into secured building status" as investigators worked on scene.
