Sniper Fires at Commuter Train

Five shots were fired at a train filled with rush-hour commuters this morning, causing slight injuries to two passengers, a spokesman for the regional transit agency said.

“It missed me by two inches,” passenger Darlene Stack said of one bullet. “It sounded like firecrackers, but it wasn’t firecrackers, it was gunshots.” One man was treated for a scratched forehead. A second passenger was hit in the arm by debris but left the scene without seeking medical treatment.
