8 teens wounded by gunfire at Philadelphia bus stop in city’s 4th transit shooting in as many days
Associated PressPHILADELPHIA — Police say eight Philadelphia high school students waiting to board a city bus after classes Wednesday were wounded by gunshots from suspects who jumped from a car and opened fire, the fourth shooting on the transit system in as many days. Those wounded at the bus stop included a 16-year-old who was hit nine times and was in critical condition, Kevin Bethel, the city’s police commissioner, said at a news conference. Mayor Cherelle Parker, standing at the scene with the city police commissioner and prosecutor and the school superintendent, said she wanted people to know that “we will not be held hostage, that we will use every legal tool in the toolbox to ensure the public health and safety of the people of our city.” Police respond to a deadly shooting on a SEPTA bus in South Philadelphia on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. SEPTA’s chief of transit police, Charles Lawson, said the shots were fired at the victim while the driver was “immediately behind.” On Monday, a 17-year-old student was killed and four other people were wounded when gunfire erupted at a bus stop.
