Gurnee police are seeking a suspect accused of spraying a chemical irritant, possibly pepper spray, Monday night at Walmart in Gurnee, officials said.
Police reviewed video that showed a black woman raising her arm in a motion similar to how one might spray a chemical, according to a news release. The woman was wearing a white top, pink pants and white athletic shoes; she had two young male children with her. The woman left with the two children in a dark vehicle, the release said.
Several people were treated at the scene for symptoms usually associated with pepper spray, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Gurnee Police Department at (847) 599-7000.
