Democratic National Convention delegates were inside eating, after the convention, when a man walked in, got into an argument with another 42-year-old man, and then shot him multiple times, police said.

The victim, who was walking out of the restaurant at the time of the shooting, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition.

CPD said the shooting suspect was wearing a T-shirt that said "OFFICER," and drove north in a silver Ford Focus.

He's described as a 25- to 35-year-old man, who is 5-feet, 7-inches to 5-feet, 11-inches tall and weighs 150 to 200 pounds.

In addition to the T-shirt, he was wearing a blue baseball cap, black vest, apparent security badge, blue jeans with black and gold stripes along the seam and white gym shoes.
