Initial details by police are the unidentified man and another man were arguing on a bus, which ended up getting violent. The bus driver reportedly threw the men off the bus, and one of the men took out a gun and shot the other twice.
We're told the bus driver also had a medical episode later on, so was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Meanwhile, the shooter, as of this writing, remains at large and has been described as a Black man standing at about 5'8" but police note the bus does have cameras, so investigators will be reviewing them.
This is a developing story and will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.
