Red Line CTA trains were halted for a period of time Wednesday after a man was shot on while riding a train in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, officials said.
At 8:46 a.m. Wednesday, CTA officials received a report of a "disturbance" on board a northbound Red Line train departing the Argyle station, the agency said. Power was removed in both directions as a result, CTA said.
The CTA later corrected the location of the shooting, saying it occurred on a northbound Red Line train between the Bryn Mawr and Thorndale stations.
According to Chicago Police, a 33-year-old man was riding the train when a 23-year-old female approached. The female spat at the man and began verbal altercation with him, police said.
The female then produced a gun and discharged once, police said.
The man sustained a gunshot wound to the left shoulder and was transported to a nearby hospital in fair condition. The female was placed into custody on scene and a weapon was received, police said.
Photos and video from the scene showed a large police presence near the Argyle station.
