Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Sweeney confirmed to The Huffington Post that they had responded to the store where two people were shot.

Chicago Fire paramedics found the man dead at the scene, and took the woman to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, a spokesman for the department told to the Chicago Tribune. While details of the shooting had not been released by officials, witnesses told NBC Chicago's Rob Elgas that the incident appeared to be related to a domestic dispute, the man shooting himself after shooting the woman. The victims names and ages had not been released at the time.

The shooting at the Nordstrom store on the first block of E Grand Ave. in Chicago was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. local time, police told WMAQ. Photos posted on social media showed police responding. The store was evacuated following the shooting on Black Friday, witnesses told the Chicago Tribune. 'It was a pow and a pow,' alleged witness Michelle Smith said, 'It was a stampede coming down the escalator,' told the paper.
