CHICAGO (CBS) – Two men are hurt, one critically, after a shooting at a CTA Red Line station Saturday night.
The shooting happened at the Roosevelt stop just after 10 p.m. in the 1100 block of South State Street.
Police said two men, 20 and 25, were causing a disturbance on a stationary train, when another man started shooting.
The 20-year-old was shot in the right shoulder and was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition. The 25-year-old suffered multiple shots to the body and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital by the Chicago Fire Department in critical condition.
Police officers who were already at the station moved in quickly to find the gunman, and were able to close in, taking a suspect into custody aboard a Green Line train at the elevated portion of the Roosevelt station.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, and police were questioning a person of interest. Charges were pending Sunday afternoon.
