Overview
- A person was shot in the stomach aboard a westbound Market-Frankford Line train at 15th Street/City Hall station during the afternoon rush on Thursday, according to SEPTA Transit Police.
- First responders transported the wounded passenger to a nearby hospital, where officials described the person’s condition as stable.
- SEPTA police began an active search for an unidentified suspect but have not released a description or a motive for the shooting.
- Authorities temporarily halted westbound L train and some trolley service for about 30 minutes while they investigated, and riders should expect possible residual delays.
- 15th Street/City Hall is a central downtown transit hub, so investigators and transit officials say they will keep a visible police presence at the station as the probe continues.
