Multiple people were shot and a man in his late 20s was killed at the Indian Lakes Hotel in Bloomingdale, Bloomingdale Public Safety Director Frank Giammarese said. Most of those injured, four to six people, were transported to local hospitals, he said. There were no updates on their conditions.
No police officers were shot, Giammarese said.
One or more suspects involved might have fled the scene after the shooting, he said.
Many people appeared to be at the hotel, located at 250 West Schick Road, together in some fashion prior to the incident, Giammarese said.

On their Facebook page, Bloomingdale police said just after 5 a.m. that "there is no known imminent threat to any members of the community" and asked residents to avoid the area.
Police initially responded to a call of shots fired on the fifth floor of the hotel at 2:35 a.m., officials said.
As police arrived, several people were seen fleeing the area.
Police brought in more law enforcement officials after they found multiple victims.
"As the night progressed, the gear started getting more and more. The next thing you know, they're in SWAT gear ... some serious gear, and they're going in," said Andy Pesek, who was driving by the hotel about 3 a.m. "And they're yelling at me, 'keep driving, keep driving!'"
DuPage County Sheriff's Office spokesman Justin Kmitch confirmed the Metropolitan Emergency Response and Investigation team was called, as well.
No one was in custody in connection with the incident as of later Saturday morning.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Bloomingdale police at 630-529-9868.
