                Fire Injures One in Chicago's Hancock Skyscraper

   by Associated Press

   A fire broke out Saturday high in the John Hancock Center, one of
   Chicago's tallest skyscrapers. One person was injured.

   Flames and thick smoke poured out of a window on the 50th floor.

   Chicago police said they were getting reports about the blaze from
   people inside the building. It has offices, shops and residential
   units, along with an observation floor popular with tourists.

   The Chicago Fire Department's media office tweeted that one person was
   injured, adding in an update that the fire was out. A department
   spokesman could not immediately be reached to provide details.

   The iconic 99-floor building was completed in 1970.
