Tragedy struck on a subway train just outside Chicago in the US last night, as four individuals lost their lives in a shooting, according to police reports. The incident took place at the Forest Park station, an above-ground stop on the Blue Line of the Chicago Transit Authority. Three victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while the fourth passed away at a nearby hospital.
The perpetrator managed to flee the scene, but was later apprehended by Forest Park police on a train running a different route. "We were able to recover a weapon," stated Deputy Chief Chris Chin during a press conference. He reassured the public that there is no immediate threat and that the situation is under control. "This appears to be an isolated incident on this unfortunate day."
The authorities were alerted to the shooting at around 5:30 am local time and Chin confirmed that no information about the victims could be disclosed at the moment. The news of the incident was met with shock and horror by the community, with Mayor Rory Hoskins describing it as a "shocking" and "horrible" act of violence. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) also condemned the shooting, stating that it should have never occurred, especially on a public transit train.
The CTA credited the security camera footage for being crucial in aiding the investigation. Forest Park Mayor, Rory Hoskins, shared that his community, with a population of 14,000, is the only Chicago suburb in Cook County where two major train lines converge. "It's a horrible tragedy that four people are dead on Labor Day weekend," he said. He also added that the Forest Park police and fire department are no strangers to this location, as they often respond to incidents in the area.
