The shooting took place near the Washington/Wells CTA station. Video from the scene showed a stopped Pink Line train with police officers.
The shooting investigation disrupted trains in the Loop, before service began resuming at around 5:30 a.m.
This investigation comes as the CTA faces growing pressure to create a more aggressive safety plan.
Last week the Federal Transit Administration rejected the CTA’s safety plan hours after it was implemented.
The CTA’s plan included more police, private security, and K-9 security staffing.
The plan also includes expanding a voluntary program that allows officers to sign up to patrol the CTA on their days off
However, The FTA believes the plan does not go far enough and is urging the CTA to take more aggressive crime reduction measures to protect riders.
