A tree fell on a Northwestern University campus leading to the injury of four people.
The tree fell as a winter storm was bringing snow and rain as well as strong winds to the Chicago area, Smith said.
"Snow, ice, wind combination contributed to the falling of a fairly large tree that resulted in injuries to the victims," he said.
Northwestern University officials told people to avoid the area around the Jacobs Center as emergency crews responded to the incident.
