now, take a look. these are the photos police want you to see. these are the three young men they are now after. authorities say they got off the train after that shooting, crossed the platform to another train and then got away. now, this investigation continued for hours after the shooting. 3:00 p.m. sunday, someone shot this teen boy between the silver spring and tacoma stops. that gun firing as that train pulled into the takoma station, and no surprise, of course, that riders are concerned. >> it's safe, but at the same time you need to watch your surroundings and, you know, your areas and what you're doing, you know, and who is around you, what's around you. but this is just unfortunate, that's all. so much is going on. i'm just sorry to hear that. >> reporter: and at this time that teen victim is now in stable condition. again, police say i
