Shooting leaves man wounded at Illinois Medical District Blue Line stop
CHICAGO (CBS) -- A man was shot Friday evening during a quarrel on the CTA Blue Line.
At 5:42 p.m., the 38-year-old man and the person who shot him were leaving a train car at the Illinois Medical District stop – along the Eisenhower Expressway at Damen Avenue – when they got into a quarrel, police said.
The shooter then took out a gun and shot the man, police said.
He was struck in the foot and was taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County in good condition.
The man was shot at the Illinois Medical District station. However, the Chicago Transit Authority said trains were bypassing the UIC-Halsted station – two stops to the east along the Eisenhower Expressway – due to the resulting police activity.
It was not immediately clear why.
No one was in custody late Friday. Area Three detectives are investigating.
