CHICAGO (WLS) -- Reports of gunfire on the Eisenhower Expressway Monday afternoon briefly shut down all inbound lanes at South Kedzie Avenue, according to the Illinois State Police.

No injuries were reported, police said.
During the closure, investigators searched for evidence between Independence and California as some stuck drivers turned around and funneled off the expressway via the on-ramp at Homan.
A motive for the shooting was not determined, but many recent expressway shootings result from neighborhood violence spilling out onto the expressway.
