DART police are looking for a man who shot two fellow passengers on a Red Line train late Friday, minutes after it left the 8th and Corinth Station.
As many as two dozen people were on the single-car train at the time of the shooting, which was reported about 10:30 p.m., said Morgan Lyons, a DART spokesman.
Witnesses said one of the shooting victims boarded the train at 8th and Corinth and made eye contact with the shooter, who was already on the train.
The man pulled out a handgun, and the two began to argue, Lyons said. It appeared the two knew each other.
The gunman fired multiple shots, striking the man with whom he was arguing in the head and the abdomen. A bystander was shot in the shoulder, Lyons said.

Purely local news, but intended as a test for those not familiar with Dallas. The station in question is the station between downtown Dallas and the Dallas Zoo. Based upon the excerpt, who can describe the neighborhood surrounding the 8th and Corinth Station?

There is a plague of homeless, mentally ill, gang bangers at almost all the stations. I have been chased, hit, had bottles thrown at me just to get a cigarette. Every 7/11, Racetrac and QT along the way is filled with camping bums. We are talking LOTS and very aggressive.

Not really a bad area it's just that the trains allow crime to roam around the city.
Maybe 5% of those who use the train actually "need" it.

Eight and Corinth would be in the very worst part of town - gang-banger territory.

The rapid transits make it so easy to make off color jokes. For example. DART (when I use to live near Dallas) was known as
Dangerous
Africans
Riding
Trains.
To: Organic Panic
Do these train extend to Fort worth? Or do they have own system. Back in the day I lived a little ways north of stop 6.

In Atlanta they have MARTA

Supposed to be Metro Atlanta Regional Transit Authority, I think. Never heard it called by its full proper name.

This is off topic. But I noticed the by-line for this story and it struck that a lot of islamic names have popped up in our news media and politics since 9/11.
