CHICAGO (CBS) -- Shots were fired, but no one was struck, on a CTA Red Line train along the Dan Ryan Expressway Monday night.

At 5:22 p.m., a 25-year-old man was on a southbound Red Line train near the Garfield station when he got into a quarrel with another man, police said.

The second man then took out a gun and fired a shot at the first man, but no one was struck.
