Why would you ask this question in the Seattle area? ( I wasn't trying to sound rude with that question, it's just that it only posted in the Seattle area.)

UPDATE:
Multiple shootings have been reported Friday afternoon in a West Loop high-rise. Shots were reportedly fired by police and by an offender.

Fire Department officials say four people were shot at 500 W. Madison. Two were transported to area hospitals, three in critical condition and another in serious condition.

Police officials say the situation is under control. Sources told CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli an attorney in the building may have been the gunman's target.

CBS 2 has confirmed that one gunshot victim was brought to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and a hospital spokesperson says they expect at least five more victims to be brought to that hospital. Other victims were reportedly transported to Rush University Medical Center and John Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

People were seen hurrying down the escalators and running from the skyscraper. The office building, called Citibank Group Center, also houses a commuter train station.

Many commuters who'd planned to board trains at the Ogilvie Transportation Center in the building were milling around in the cold, trying to figure out how they would get home.

Train service for the Metra/Union Pacific North, Northwest and West Line trains traveling both to and from Ogilvie have been halted, according to the Metra Website. Commuters are asked to find alternate transportation Friday evening.

Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet said the commuter train line has suspended service. She said the last train left at 3:45 p.m., and no trains will leave or enter the station again until police notify the rail service that it is safe to ddo so.

Pardonnet says all the Metra crew members are sequestered and locked into their areas within the facility.

Chicago Transit Authority spokeswoman Wanda Taylor said seven bus routes are being diverted from the area. The routes are the numbers 14, 20, 56, 60, 124, 127, 157. The CTA is honoring Metra passes on buses and trains to help commuters who can't get on Metra trains.
