The suspect in the attack fled the scene but was later arrested on a CTA Pink Line train, according to ABC 7. During the arrest, law enforcement confiscated a firearm.

Authorities indicated that the incident appears to be isolated and does not pose an ongoing threat to the public. The CTA issued a statement condemning the act of violence.

«Although this was an isolated incident, this atrocious and egregious act of violence should never have occurred, especially not on public transportation,» they stated.

The CTA also emphasized that resources were immediately deployed to assist the Forest Park police in the investigation, including reviewing all security camera footage, which was crucial to advancing the investigation.

Public Asked for Information About the Chicago Train Shooting

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Forest Park police at 708-366-2425.

This incident comes amid growing concern over violence in Chicago, which in 2023 reached a decade-high with 617 homicides, the highest number among major U.S. cities.

Additionally, last month, a member of the Texas Democratic delegation was robbed at gunpoint during the party’s national convention, highlighting a troubling wave of violence in the country.
