Four people were killed in a Monday morning shooting on a CTA Blue Line train in Forest Park, the west suburban village’s police said.
Officers were dispatched to the Forest Park Blue Line station, 711 Des Plaines Ave., at 5:27 a.m. Monday after someone called 911 to report three people were shot on a train, Forest Park police said in a statement.
Three people were pronounced dead at the scene, police said, and a fourth shooting victim was pronounced dead soon after at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. The ages and genders of the four were not disclosed by police, and a representative for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office did not respond to an inquiry from the Tribune Monday morning.
Forest Park police said a suspect was later taken into custody on the Pink Line by Chicago Police officers and a weapon was recovered.
Blue Line train service was suspended between the Forest Park and Austin stations as police continued to investigate.
