A shooting on a CTA Red Line train that left a man wounded Wednesday morning led to massive delays as concerns over safety throughout the system grow.

The incident halted services from the Argyle to Thorndale stops.
According to Chicago police, the shooting started as an argument between two people, a 33-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman on the train. Police say the woman approached the victim, spat in his face then pulled out a gun and shot him. He was taken to the hospital in fair condition.NBC Chicago has been tracking crime on the CTA and found that at least 15 high-profile incidents have been reported on the city's mass transit system in the month of September alone.
