Unhappy US Killings; Mass Shootings in Chicago AND Georgia High School-4 DEAD-Many Injure

Mass Shooting in Chicago Suburb Leaves Four Dead

Casualties Reported in MASS Shooting at Georgia High School, Suspect in Custody

AP 4 SEP 2024






Four people were killed in a shooting on a train at the Forest Park Blue Line station in the early morning hours of Monday, the Chicago Tribune reports.




Police said they responded on early Monday morning to a 911 call claiming that multiple people had been shot at the station.

When police arrived on the scene, they found four people were shot, three of whom were pronounced dead at the scene. The fourth person died later at the hospital.

The alleged gunman "was no longer on scene and made good on their escape," the police said. They were able to use surveillance videos to find the suspect.

"That person was taken into custody and a firearm was recovered, authorities said, though it was not immediately clear if it was the same weapon used in the killings," the report said.

The incident is over and a local hospital is "treating multiple gunshot wounds," according to one source briefed on the situation.

Details on the number of victims and their conditions were not immediately clear, the sheriff's office said.





Students are seen outside Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., on Sept. 4, 2024.


Senior Sergio Caldera, 17, said he was in chemistry class when he heard gunshots at 11 a.m.

"My teacher goes and opens the door to see what's going on. Another teacher comes running in and tells her to close the door because there's an active shooter," Caldera told ABC News.

He said his teacher locked the door and the students ran to the back of the room. Caldera said they heard screams from outside as they "huddled up."

At some point, Caldera said someone pounded on his classroom door and shouted "open up!" multiple times. When the knocking stopped, Caldera said he heard more gunshots and screams.

He said his class later evacuated to the football field. Apalachee High School was "cleared for dismissal" and all other Barrow County Schools are on a "soft lockdown," the Barrow County School District said.

"The Barrow County Sheriff's Office says this is for the safety of everyone right now. Please do not visit your child's school at this time. We cannot release students during a lockdown," the school district said in a statement. "We will let you know as soon as BCSO says it is all clear for dismissal."

Winder is about 45 miles outside of Atlanta.
