A passenger was fatally shot aboard a Philadelphia bus on Tuesday evening in the third deadly shooting involving a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) bus in as many days.
The latest shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. when an apparent argument sparked the gunfire near the intersection of Broad Street and Snyder Avenue, FOX29 Philadelphia reported, citing police.
An individual who was apparently exiting the bus turned and suddenly opened fire on those inside, police said. The gunfire struck a 37-year-old man at least twice in the chest. He was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.
The shooting came a day after a 17-year-old was killed and four others were wounded as a group of 15 to 20 people were boarding a city bus on North Broad Street and West Godfrey Avenue. Police said two people had walked up to the bus stop and opened fire around 3:45 p.m.
