Four women were killed Sunday in a domestic-related shooting in suburban Tinley Park, officials say.
Officers responded about 11:20 a.m. to a home in the 7400 block of 173rd Place after a male called 911 to report a person shot, Tinley Park Village Manager Pat Carr told reporters at the scene.
Four women were found fatally shot and pronounced dead at the scene, Carr said. Their ages and names have not been released.
A neighbor said five people lived in the home and that her daughter knew a couple of the residents, who she described as having a bright future.

Carr said a male was taken into custody at the scene, and a weapon was recovered. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was the same person who called 911.
Investigators are working to establish the relationships between everyone in the home, Carr said.
Residents have been asked to stay away from the area, but Carr described the incident as “isolated” to the home and said there was no threat to the public.
Charlotte Vaitkus, who lives about a block away from the home where the women were found, said the whole neighborhood is in shock.
“We don’t see this kind of stuff,” she said.
Vaitkus said a family of at least five people lived at the home, adding that her daughter knew a couple of the women very well.
“She always talked about how they were all very intelligent and had very high goals in life, like being a pharmacist and a doctor,” Vaitkus said.
“They had a bright future,” Vaitkus said.
