Police: Woman stabbed to death on Red Line in domestic attack

Thank God he didn’t use a gun!  He surely saw those “NO GUNS” signs and thought he’d better leave his gun at home.

Unfortunately, those “GUN FREE” signs preclude the law-abiding – like this woman – from carrying the means with which to protect herself from people like her ex-.  In a fit of blind rage, he killed her “at high noon” today, Thursday, on a CTA train.

(Tribune) – A woman was stabbed to death and a man was taken into custody Thursday in a midday attack on the CTA Red Line that police described as a domestic dispute.

The fatal attack, a rarity on CTA trains, prompted passengers to flee, screaming in horror, a witness said. The CTA rerouted trains and shut down service to the 47th Street station for several hours while police investigated.

The incident happened on a southbound train as it was pulling into the station about 12:35 p.m., police said. A man stabbed the woman multiple times, and she died at the scene, police First Deputy Superintendent John Escalante said at a news conference about two hours after the killing.

Yep.  Stabbed this 25-year-old mother to death.  In broad daylight.  In the middle of the day.

As she begged others to help save her life.

“She was fighting back, she was crying ‘help me, help me!'” Patterson said. The knife briefly fell out of the attacker’s hand, but he quickly retrieved and resumed the attack. Other people fled the train car, Patterson said.

Of course, those signs meant that no other law-abiding good guys could carry the means with which to save this woman’s life either.

Gun free zones, and the politicians who support them are despicable.
