Four killed in US train shooting incident.
A tragic incident occurred on a subway train just outside of Chicago, USA in the early hours of the morning, claiming the lives of four individuals, according to the police. The Forest Park station, an above-ground stop on the Blue Line of the Chicago Transit Authority, was the scene where three people were pronounced dead, while the fourth victim passed away at a nearby hospital.

Although the suspect initially managed to escape, they were later apprehended on a different train route by the Forest Park police. "We were able to recover a weapon," revealed Forest Park Deputy Chief Chris Chin during a press conference. He reassured the public that there is currently no immediate danger and that it seems to be an isolated incident on a rather unfortunate day.

The police were alerted to the incident at approximately 5:30 am local time. Chin stated that they have limited information about the victims at the moment. The shooting has left the community in shock and disbelief, with Mayor Rory Hoskins calling it "shocking" and "horrible." The Chicago Transit Authority, also known as CTA, condemned the act of violence, stating that it should have never happened, especially on a public transit train.

According to CTA, the security camera footage played a crucial role in aiding the investigators. Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins shared that his town, which has a population of 14,000, is the only Chicago suburb in Cook County where two major train lines intersect. "It's a terrible tragedy that four individuals have lost their lives on Labor Day weekend," Hoskins expressed. He also mentioned that the police and fire department have had to respond to this particular location more frequently than any other in their jurisdiction.
