Four People Shot and Killed On CTA Blue Line Train in Forest Park, Chicago [VIDEO]

According to authorities, police received a 911 call after several individuals were shot onboard the CTA Blue Line Train in Forest Park. Officers arrived on the scene and found four shooting victims. Three were pronounced dead on the scene and a fourth was transported to Loyola University Medical Center, where they later died.  Police say the shootings appear to be random in nature.

The suspect in the case fled the train after the shooting, with police using surveillance footage to identify the individual. The suspect was later found onboard a CTA Pink Line train and was taken into custody. A weapon was also recovered, but it is unclear if it was the same gun used in the attacks.

The CTA issued a statement on the attack Monday:

“Although this was an isolated incident, this heinous and egregious act of violence should never have occurred, none the less on a public transit train,” the CTA said in a statement. “As soon as this matter was reported, CTA immediately deployed resources to assist the Forest Park Police in their investigation into the matter, including review of all possible security camera footage, which proved to be vital in aiding local enforcement. We commend both the Forest Park Police Department for their thorough and collaborative efforts to provide information to partner agencies; as well as the Chicago Police Department whose quick actions led to the apprehension of a suspect in this matter. CTA will continue to work with local law enforcement as part of this ongoing investigation.”
