Around 8 a.m.  Chicago police assigned to O'Hare stopped a vehicle for speeding near the Kennedy Expressway on Cumberland Avenue   Guglielmi  said.
Once police pulled them over  an officer saw a handgun in the 2005 Mitsubishi Galant. Police were then told that an AR-15 rifle was in the trunk   Guglielmi  said.
In addition to 217 rounds of ammunition  police found a pressure cooker device in the trunk of the car. But it was inspected by Chicago police and the FBI  who determined that the device was not being used as a weapon  but rather for cooking   Guglielmi  said.
Three people were inside the vehicle  and all were taken into custody   Guglielmi  said.
