A man was critical condition after a shooting late Tuesday morning in the Loop near a busy Chicago CTA station, the Chicago Police Department said.

According to CPD, a 45-year-old man was on CTA property in the 200 block of N. LaSalle near the Clark/Lake station when another man who was known to the victim fired shots in the victim's direction.
