Police search for gunman who shot four people on a SEPTA bus in Philadelphia
Three teens and a 39-year-old woman were injured in the shooting on the Route 15 bus at 33rd Street and Girard Avenue around 6:15 p.m. Saturday.
Police continued their search Sunday for a gunman who shot and wounded three children and a woman on a SEPTA bus after an altercation Saturday evening.
The Route 15 bus was at 33rd Street and Girard Avenue in Fairmount Park when a man fired a gun inside the bus, striking four people and leaving the scene around 6:15 p.m., according to police and a SEPTA spokesperson.
A 14-year-old boy was shot in his left hand. Two 16-year old boys were injured, one shot in the right foot, another grazed in the back, police said. All were taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and listed in stable condition, police said on Sunday.
The fourth victim, a 39-year-old woman, was grazed by a bullet on her left shoulder. She declined to be taken to a hospital, but received medical attention at the scene by fire rescue personnel, police said.
Police described the gunman as in his early 40s and last seen wearing a red hat and a black zip-up jacket.
A verbal altercation between the man and the teens might have led to the shooting, police said.
They are urging anyone with information to contact the department tipline at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
