The shooting was reported around 2:30 p.m. as the train was pulling into the station, police said.

Police said the argument broke out on-board an inbound train, and a man was shot as he was about to exit.

"People were moving away from the doors," witness Martti Vallila said. "The first instinct was kind of to recoil."

The argument then spilled out onto the platform where a 43-year-old man was shot.

"He ended up moving to the right and falling on the ground," Vallila said.

Police said preliminarily it does not appear that the 43-year-old was an innocent bystander.

Both victims were taken to hospital with what were described as non-life-threatening injuries.

Buses replaced Blue Line service between Airport and Bowdoin stations for about two hours before normal service resumed.

The search for the gunman continues, police said.
