The man was arguing with three people on a CTA bus, and when he got off the bus, the three followed him, continuing the argument.

But . . . but . . . that can't be possible! Firearms are illegal to carry while riding any public transportation in Illinois, including and especially the CTA in Chicago, so the guy who fired the shot couldn't have had a gun on him when he got off the bus! It's just not possible! I know what happened! Him and his friends got off the bus while arguing with the guy he shot, he stopped and very quickly called someone and had them make a straw purchase at Chuck's Gun Shop, had them bring the gun 3.4 miles from Chuck's to the 100 block of 119th Street, so he could shoot the guy he was arguing with. That's how it happened. I don't believe it could have happened any other way, because CTA buses are off-limits to anyone carrying a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
