FOREST PARK, IL – Four people were shot and killed on a Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line train early Monday morning, and one suspect is in custody, officials said.
Forest Park Police said officers responded to a report of a shooting on the CTA Blue Line at the Forest Park Blue Line station at 711 Desplaines Avenue shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday.
Officers arrived to find four victims with gunshot wounds. Three were pronounced dead at the scene, and one was transported to Loyola University Medical Center, where they later died of their injuries.
The suspect fled the scene, but Forest Park Police and CTA Security used surveillance video to get a description.
The suspect, whose identity was not immediately released, was taken into custody on a CTA Pink Line train in Chicago. A gun was recovered, according to police.
Police said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident, with no further threat to the public.
Blue Line service was temporarily suspended between Forest Park and Austin due to the investigation, with shuttle buses taking over the route. Shortly before 10 a.m., CTA announced the line was reopened but running with residual delays.
Forest Park Police and the West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are investigating the shooting.
