Four people die following a shooting on a train in the US.

In the early hours of the morning, a tragic incident occurred on a subway train just outside of Chicago, leaving four individuals dead, according to the authorities. At the Forest Park station, an above-ground stop on the Blue Line of the Chicago Transit Authority, three victims were declared deceased, while the fourth passed away after being taken to a nearby hospital.

The suspect managed to escape, but was later apprehended on a different train route, as reported by the Forest Park police. Deputy Chief Chris Chin shared with the media that a weapon was found in the suspect's possession. However, he assured the public that there is no immediate threat to their safety.

Chief Chin also stated that this appears to be an isolated incident on what he described as an unfortunate day. The police were notified at around 5:30am, and at this time, Chin had no further information to disclose about the victims.

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins expressed shock and dismay at the shooting, calling it a "horrible" act. The Chicago Transit Authority, also known as CTA, released a statement condemning the violence and stating that it should never have occurred, especially on a public transit train.

According to CTA, footage from security cameras played a crucial role in aiding the investigators. This was confirmed by Mayor Hoskins, who added that his community, with a population of 14,000, is the only Chicago suburb in Cook County where two major train lines intersect.

He went on to say that it is a tragic loss to have four lives taken on a holiday weekend like Labor Day. He also mentioned that the Forest Park police and fire departments are most frequently called to this particular station compared to others in their jurisdiction.

In the midst of this tragedy, the authorities are urging the public to stay updated on the latest developments through their WhatsApp channel, where they can receive breaking news, updates on celebrities and sports, without any comments or algorithms, and with complete privacy.
