Video from a bystander shows the victim shoving Adams to the ground before walking away down the stairs, that's when he retrieved a handgun, walked towards the staircase, and fired 10 times – striking the victim three times in the lower abdomen, back, and lower left leg.In a statement, CTA confirmed that Adams worked as a customer assistant, and they are pursuing termination. It was also confirmed that he violated several other rules including the prohibition of possessing a firearm.

Free this man. He’s a hero. The cta should be sued for terminating him. He should be paid his pay checks every Friday even while in jail. Because of him now people will think twice before attacking another CTA worker or customer.

One of Chicagos most violent train stops. Most who comment, never been there, and wouldn't last a day, working there...

Life can push you over the edge...

Bet he regrets his lack of impulse control now.

If cta provided better security for their employees in dangerous areas, employees wouldn’t of had to defend themselves this way. Rush hours shouldn’t be the only exception.
