"This, obviously, is shocking. It is uncommon to have a mass shooting like this particularly close to home," said Deputy Chief Christopher Chin, emphasizing the unexpected nature of the incident.
Mayor Rory Hoskins described the shooting as an outlier, expressing disbelief that such a tragedy occurred in Forest Park, a community not accustomed to mass shootings.
The Chicago Transit Authority highlighted the critical role of security footage in identifying the shooter, noting that despite being an isolated incident, this violence should never happen.
Authorities stated that three victims were pronounced dead at the station, with a fourth dying at a hospital, while the shooter was apprehended soon after fleeing.
