Four people fatally shot on a commuter train in the Chicago area early Monday appeared to be attacked while asleep in their seats, police said in an afternoon update.

The victims, whose names, ages, and genders were still unavailable, appeared to be asleep, were seated apart, and did not resist the attack, the Forest Park Police Department said, citing a review of security footage.

A suspect has been taken into custody and a weapon was recovered, Forest Park Deputy Chief Chris Chin said at a news conference.

The motive remained unknown. The name of the person in custody was not released.

Welcome to a Democrat-created society.

You must be unarmed in this society.

If you want more of the same, vote Harris/Walz in November, and for Democrats all the way down the ticket.

Coulter rule in effect. Was this a Colin Ferguson situation?

Aloha snackbar? Had the victims been armed, they would still have been asleep when shot.

Did the shooter have an FOID card?

The murderer was from a protected class.
Everybody knows this already due to hiding the name of the murderer.
Not telling the whole truth is lying.
The media is lying.

Call the liars out!

Seems to be a rash of anonymous killers running loose.

The cops say nothing, the press says nothing. Coincidence or collusion?

But they do promote gun control. Coincidence or collusion?

I'm guessing that the killer's name is not Bertrand Thornton-Smythe.

When there are no repercussions for crimes, then crimes will continue. Such as this:

https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/houston-area-third-grade-teacher-arrested-major-gang-weapons-narcotics

“Third-grade teacher in Houston area among 20 arrested in major gang, weapons, narcotics bust”

“The teacher is an alleged associate of the Rich Kingz gang “who was caught on a court-authorized wiretap allegedly conducting drug deals while in class,” the FBI-Houston said in a statement.”

This is the Blue Line train from O’Hare; that all victims were “sleeping” may have meant they were vagrants who just stay on the train.

"Four people fatally shot on a commuter train in the

And why not murder people with impunity
in a Democrat Party controlled state?

The greatest punishment you might receive is "life" imprisonment.
And if a communist "Soros" DA is doing the prosecuting you might
only get five to twenty years or even be released early for "good
behavior"; especially if your victims were those oppressive,
evil white people and you happen to be a black person.

Plus you are at the mercy of violent career criminals who get released over and over again. It really is the perfect storm.

The gymnastics champ that was murdered , the cops aren’t releasing that guys name either .

The cops say no further danger expected to the public, one could conclude the killer acted alone and there isn’t a blood crazed assistant killer still out and about, why not release that killer’s name?

What are they hiding ?
