Four people were killed on a commuter train in the Chicago area on Labor Day, police said.
Police were dispatched to a train station in Forest Park, a village 10 miles west of Chicago, at about 5:30 a.m. after receiving a call that three people were shot. Three people were pronounced dead on the scene, while one was transported to the hospital and died there, Forest Park police said.
The train was in motion on the system’s blue line, and the shooting happened across two cars, police said.
The suspect initially escaped from the scene, but was later found through Chicago Transit Authority surveillance video. Police now have the person in custody and seized a firearm in their possession.
“This is an isolated incident, so it can happen anywhere,” Forest Park Police Deputy Chief Christopher Chin said. “Obviously, there’s a little bit more concern because it is on a mass transit system, but understand that there are security measures in place, not only by our local police departments that run along the line, but also CTA, as well.”
