A carnival in a northwest suburb turned chaotic Saturday evening, prompting law enforcement to shut it down for public safety.
Lake in the Hills Police said they received calls just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday for fights erupting at the carnival and its nearby parking lot in the 100 block of North Randall Road.
