Suspect in rifle fired at Chicago train station surrenders

CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago man who allegedly pulled a rifle out of a backpack and fired one shot at a Metra train station is facing three felony firearm charges after surrendering to authorities.

Shawn A. Kimbrough, 40, turned himself in Monday morning to Metra Police after the public transit agency said in a statement that it negotiated the terms of Kimbrough's surrender with his lawyer.

Metra said Kimbrough surrendered after authorities received tips that identified him as the shooting suspect after the FBI released security video and images of a man who removed a collapsible rifle from a backpack on Dec. 1 and fired one shot at McCormick Place's Metra station.

No injuries were reported in that incident and it was unclear if the man was aiming at anything, officials said.

Kimbrough was expected to appear Tuesday in bond court. He is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a firearm without a firearm owners identification card and reckless discharge of a firearm.

A message left Tuesday for Kimbrough's attorney seeking comment on his client's behalf was not immediately returned.
