Overview
- Three northbound cars pulled over near the 95th Street Red Line station and occupants exchanged gunfire that sent a projectile through a train car window.
- A 46-year-old man aboard the train was struck by flying glass and taken to Trinity Hospital in good condition.
- Responding officers’ radio traffic identified the injured man as the train operator while the police statement described him only as a passenger, creating an outstanding detail in the public record.
- All three vehicles fled the scene and officers at the station detained a woman, although police have not disclosed any charges or the reason for the detention.
- The incident highlights how roadway gunfire can directly endanger transit riders and operators and has prompted an active CPD investigation into finding the shooters and reviewing commuter safety near the Dan Ryan corridor.
