Two passengers injured in shooting aboard DART train near 8th and Corinth station

DALLAS -- DART police are looking for a man who shot two fellow passengers on a Red Line train late Friday, minutes after it left the 8th and Corinth Station.

As many as two dozen people were on the single-car train at the time of the shooting, which was reported about 10:30 p.m., said Morgan Lyons, a DART spokesman.

Witnesses told one of the shooting victims boarded the train at 8th and Corinth and made eye contact with the suspect, who was already on the train.

The suspect pulled out a handgun and the two began to argue, Lyons said. It appears the two somehow knew each other.

Yes, I have to wonder about the decision of the conductor to stop the train was the best decision. TexasTowelie Jun 2015 #2

He should have called ahead to have the police ready to arrest the man at the next stop even if he had to skip stops in between. Of course, I can also see why he would want the shooter off of the train.
