Officials say a security guard was shot and wounded on a Philadelphia-area subway train. A Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority spokesperson says the man was shot at about 3:10 p.m. Thursday on board a Market-Frankford Line train at the Arrott Transportation Center in northeast Philadelphia. The spokesperson said Thursday evening that the guard is in stable condition and that they couldn't share further details. The man who was shot is an employee of Scotlandyard Security Services, which provides security personnel in outreach roles for the transportation authority. The security guards were hired after several sexual assaults were reported on trains and in subway stations in recent years.
