Red Line Service Suspended Due To SWAT Response
CHICAGO (CBS) --A SWAT team has responded to a possible barricade situation in the Buena Park neighborhood, forcing the CTA to shut down a portion of the Red Line.
UPDATE: As of 3 p.m. normal service had resumed. According to scanner traffic, a man being served with an eviction notice barricaded himself for a short time inside a residence. Police said he was taken into custody and that there were no injuries.
Red Line service is still disrupted in the area of Sheridan; we're working to establish service alternatives and will post an update shortly. Consider alternatives, including local buses and other lines, where convenient.
