No one was in custody.

On Tuesday night, a CTA employee was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting outside a train station in Rogers Park.

On Labor Day, four people were fatally shot on a Forest Park-bound Blue Line train. Hours later, a man was stabbed and critically wounded during a fight on a CTA Red Line train in Uptown on the North Side.
