Police say they are investigating a shooting that occurred west of the Lake Street Metra station in Grayslake and halted train traffic in the area Wednesday evening.
Metra reported in an alert around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday that trains on the Milwaukee District North line had been halted.
Metra said Train 2147, which was scheduled to arrive in Fox Lake at 8:15 p.m., was stopped due to police activity.
Additional trains scheduled to arrive and depart from Fox Lake on the MD-N line were also delayed.
The Grayslake-Hainesville Police Department said they responded around 7:45 p.m. to a call for shots fired west of the Lake Street Grayslake Metra station.
Grayslake-Hainesville Police Chief Jeff Myhra said the incident did not occur at the Metra station but west of the station.
Myhra said officers recovered numerous spent handgun shell casings near the railroad tracks southwest of the Glen Street Apartments, which are west of the train station and east of Alleghany Road.
No injuries were reported. Myhra said there is no evidence that suggests they were shooting at anyone or anything in particular.
The Metra Police Department was called to assist the Grayslake Police Department, which is handling the investigation.
