CHICAGO, IL – A incident unfolded on a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus late Tuesday night when a confrontation turned deadly. According to Chicago Police, the episode occurred just after 11 p.m. on Division Street near Kostner, where a 53-year-old man wielding a knife was shot multiple times by another passenger. The armed passenger, after firing the shots, fled the scene, leaving the knife-wielding man dead.

Fleeing the scene, as seen in this Chicago incident, often raises questions about the legality of the firearm used. Legally armed citizens know the importance of staying on scene and contacting police, ensuring a clear account of the self-defense situation. Leaving complicates the investigation and response efforts.
