Two Arrested After Separate CTA Bus Incidents on Chicago’s South Side

The cases underscore active CPD investigations into unresolved motives.

Overview

  • Chicago police say a 33-year-old man opened fire on a parked CTA bus at the Midway Bus Depot near the Orange Line, and no one was on board or hurt.
  • Officers recovered a firearm at the Midway scene, Area One detectives are handling the case, and charges remain pending.
  • In a separate incident in Englewood, police arrested a 34-year-old who crashed a black car into a stopped CTA bus at 63rd Street and South Yale Avenue.
  • The CTA bus driver in the Englewood crash reported no major injuries, and officers issued the driver two citations before taking him into custody.
  • Police have not identified a motive for the Midway gunfire, and the recent cases follow an earlier Bronzeville bus shooting that wounded a passenger, renewing concern about rider and worker safety.
