Man charged after four shot ***** on Chicago train

A 30-year-old man from Chicago has been charged with ******* after four people were fatally shot on a train, authorities said.

The suspect, identified by Forest Park Police as Rhanni Davis, is accused of four counts of first-degree *******.

The victims all appeared to be asleep on a Blue Line train in the Chicago suburb of Forest Park when they were shot just before 05:30 local time (10:30 GMT) on Monday, police said.

Three of the victims were found ***** at the scene, while the fourth ***** later in hospital, according to police.

Two of the victims have been identified by the authorities as Simeon Bihesi 28, and Adrian Collins, 60.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office later said one of the other two victims was a 64-year-old woman named Margaret Miller. The fourth victim has been identified as a man but his name has not yet been released.

Deputy Chief for the Forest Park Police Department Christopher ***** said the ********* appeared to be a “random act of *********”, saying the gunman “shot and ******* four victims when literally they were sleeping on the train”.

“This wasn’t a robbery. It didn’t appear that he was in a ****** with anybody else,” he said.

On Tuesday, prosecutor Kim Foxx described the ********* as “inexplicable” as she announced the charges.

“It is horrific,” she said. “We want answers.”

Police said surveillance footage showed the attacker walking through the train, and ********* four passengers who appeared to be asleep in two different carriages. The four victims were not sitting together.

The suspect is due to appear in court on Wednesday.

The Blue Line train runs 24 hours a day between Forest Park and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and is run by the Chicago Transit Authority, the ******* States’ second largest public transportation system.

**** ********* is common in the ******* States, where there are more firearms than people.
