[Regnum] Four people were killed in a shooting on a train in the city of Forest Park in the US state of Illinois. This was reported on September 2 by the ABC News channel, citing a police statement.

"Three died at the scene, and the fourth was transported to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he died," the statement said.

It is noted that the suspect fled the scene of the crime, but the police tracked him down through surveillance cameras and detained him.

As previously reported by the Regnum news agency, on the night of July 21, three people died and seven more were injured as a result of a mass shooting in Philadelphia in the United States. The incident occurred during a party attended by 100 to 150 people.

One of the victims, a 33-year-old man, died at the scene. Police believe he was the target of the attack, as he was shot at very close range. Another person was seriously injured and died in hospital. A third died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Police believe there were multiple shooters. About 30 shell casings and firearms were found at the scene.

The Chicago Sun Times has more background here. The Forest Park Review adds:

Robbery may have been a motive.

The victims’ identities were not released by 12:45 p.m. Monday. CBS reported police said they may have been unhoused people.

#3 I had to read to the end to see that it was a CTA train and not a Metra Train.
Lived in the metro area since the early 1980s and never had any interest in anything CTA. Metra -> Yes. CTA -> NO.
