Man, shot killed in Chicago near scene of CTA train crash
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago police are investigating a shooting Thursday afternoon near the CTA's Howard Red Line terminal, and the scene of a crash involving a Yellow Line train earlier in the day.
The shooting happened in the 1600 block of West Howard Street at 1:51 p.m. Police said a 30-year-old man was involved in a quarrel with someone that turned physical.
The armed suspect fired shots at the victim, killing him. Area detectives are investigating.
Alderman Maria Hadden (49th) issued a statement saying the men involved were from the neighborhood.
The scene is a short distance from the site where a Chicago Transit Authority Yellow Line train hit a piece of snow-moving equipment while on its way into the Howard terminal in an unrelated incident a little over three hours earlier.
A total of 38 people were injured in that incident, and 23 of those 38 people were hospitalized.
