Dixon was one of at least 23 people injured — one fatally — in the mass shooting at the strip mall parking lot along Illinois Route 83. Ten people were taken by ambulances to hospitals. Another seven people arrived at hospitals by private vehicle. There were still many unanswered questions Monday as investigators continued to scour the scene for clues that could lead them to the person or persons responsible.
Dixon said she dropped to the pavement when she heard the gunfire and scrambled on her stomach under a nearby car for cover.”There were other screams,” she remembered, “so I don’t know if anybody actually heard me, and there were other shots.” She went through one surgery Sunday and is expected to undergo a second surgery later in the week. Dixon said she hasn’t slept, the images from that night replaying in her mind. Doctors told her she won’t be able to walk for months, she said. A friend set up a GoFundMe for Dixon to help with expenses while she recovers.
