Authorities are searching for answers after a suspect was arrested in the fatal shooting of four passengers who appeared to be sleeping on a Chicago Transit Authority train early Monday morning. A suspect – who has not been publicly identified – was taken into custody about 90 minutes after the shooting, which happened on a Blue Line train heading to the Forest Park suburb west of downtown. Investigators believe it was an isolated and random attack, police said Monday. Authorities are now working with the Chicago Transit Authority to investigate the shooting, which police said happened in two train cars: three victims in one car and the fourth in another. Surveillance video was instrumental in identifying the suspect, police said. As investigators continue to comb through the evidence, prosecutors have 48 hours from the time of the suspect’s arrest to announce any charges. CTA’s Blue Line spans 27 miles between O’Hare International Airport and Forest Park, passing through or near dozens of neighborhoods and downtown Chicago. Service on the line resumed Monday evening.
