OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Police on Sunday were searching for a man who fatally shot a passenger on a packed Bay Area Rapid Transit train and then fled when the train stopped at the West Oakland station, causing panic among riders who thought it was a terrorist attack.
The suspect fled the train as some passengers frantically tried to save the shooting victim Saturday night, while others ran out of the train or got on the ground.
Brad Chapin, a psychology student from San Francisco, told the Oakland Tribune (http://bayareane.ws/1ZVfMKB ) he was wearing earbuds and watching a video on his phone when heard shots being fired.
"Everyone just got down on the ground. People were screaming. It was chaos," Chapin said. "We didn't know if there were terrorists there or what."
