The Chicago Fire Department has yet to confirm the exact number of victims involved in the incident.

In a separate incident nearby, at around 1:20 p.m. in the 2300-block of West Roosevelt Road, three men in a vehicle were reportedly approached by three armed male suspects, according to Chicago Police Department reports.

They fired shots into the vehicle, police said.

A vehicle in the parking lot appeared to be charred, and its windows were shattered.

UIC students and staff were asked to stay away from campus amid the police activity Tuesday.

UIC officials said no threat exists to the campus as of about 3 p.m.

Some roads appeared to be closed near the campus and around the White Castle.
