Four people were shot dead Labor Day morning just before 6:00 o’clock while sleeping on a commuter train in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
NBC News reported the victims “appeared to be asleep and were seated apart from each other according to security footage.”
The shooting occurred “on a Blue Line train heading to the Forest Park suburb west of downtown,” CNN noted. The victims were in two separate train cars, with three in one car and a single victim in another.
There is a belief that the shooting victims may have been homeless.
A suspect in the shooting was arrested approximately 90 minutes after the attacks occurred, and a weapon was recovered.
Breitbart News pointed out at least 17 people were shot in Chicago, three of them fatally, Friday through Sunday night of Labor Day Weekend.
