CHICAGO - One person is being questioned after a man was shot outside an O'Hare Airport terminal early Wednesday.

O'Hare Airport shooting

What we know:

The shooting happened just before 1 a.m. after a fight between several people spilled out from Terminal 2 into the arrivals lanes of traffic outside, according to police and witnesses.

A 25-year-old man was shot twice in the lower body. He was taken to Lutheran General Hospital where he was listed in "stable" condition, police said.

A bullet hole could be seen in the glass separating the terminal from the street.

Airlines that use Terminal 2 include JetBlue, Air Canada and Alaska Airlines. On the arrival level of O’Hare, traffic was closed for about five hours. 

Police said they are interviewing one person in connection with the shooting. 

"I saw people scattering"

What they're saying:

One witness said it appeared to be automatic gunfire.

"I heard what sounded like just a rapid fire, like automatic fire," said retired police officer James Van Schaick. "I looked out of my window. I'm in the hotel right across the way and I saw people scattering, and I was at a high angle, so I couldn't see very well, but I saw people just scatter in both directions and then I heard a bunch of single shots."

Chicago’s gun violence is known to visitors but no one would have expected it could happen at the airport. Shauntu Tennant was visiting from Georgia. 

"I would still think there’s too many police here to dare to do such a thing, I guess we were wrong," Tennant said.

What we don't know:

It was not immediately clear what led to the fight before the shooting or how many people were involved.
