A 38-year-old man was charged Monday with shooting and seriously wounding a CTA bus driver in the Loop over the Labor Day weekend.
Dennis Green, 38, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery to a transit employee, armed habitual criminal and possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number, Chicago police said in a news release.

Shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, Green shot the driver in the jaw during an attack in the first block of East Washington Avenue, police said. The driver, a 34-year-old man, was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition.
Green was arrested minutes later in the first block of East Jackson Boulevard, police said, and a weapon was recovered.
In a statement this weekend, the CTA decried the attack.
“An assault on any CTA bus or rail operator – public servants who have courageously kept the City moving throughout the pandemic – is unacceptable and completely unwarranted,” the statement said.
Green is expected to appear in bond court Tuesday.
