OAK LAWN Ill. (WLS) -- A man was found wounded from an apparent road rage shooting in an Oak Lawn parking lot Tuesday night, police said.

A man in his 40s with two gunshot wounds was found by police in a business parking lot, police said. He was transported to a local hospital in unknown condition.

Police from Oak Lawn and other nearby areas attempted to stop the suspect's vehicle, but it escaped at a high rate of speed and ignored traffic signals, police said.
