Cameras Completely Capture CTA Shooting

The Sunday shooting on the CTA’s No. 71 bus allegedly by Milton Wardlaw, was captured explicitly on seven cameras. Video footage shows riders diving for cover as a teenager was fatally shot in the head.

Cook County prosecutor Emily Leuin presented details of Wardlaw’s alleged crime Friday in Cook County Bond Court.

Wardlaw repeatedly shook his head and stared incredulously as Leuin described the shooting, all of which was caught on camera: how Wardlaw allegedly argued with a man after accidentally touching his hand. How that man displayed a gun. And finally how Wardlaw, after getting off the bus at 71st and Woodlawn, walked a few feet, then turned and allegedly fired at the bus. [S-T]
