A man was arrested after firing shots while inside an empty CTA bus parked outside Midway Airport Monday afternoon on the Southwest Side.
Around 5:40 p.m., the 33-year-old man was on the bus, number 8026, at 4612 W. 59th St. when he opened fire, damaging the bus and leaving bullet holes, Chicago police said.

“We have a crime scene on the bus,” an officer told the dispatcher. Charges were pending against the suspect. Police described him as an “active shooter.”
A gun was recovered at the scene.
