HPD said a man and a woman got off a Metro bus at the corner of Tidwell and Bauman around 7 PM Sunday and asked the two women they were fighting with to follow.

However, when the two women did not oblige, HPD said the man pulled out a gun and fired twice through the bus window. Both women, who investigators say were 29 and 40 years old, were shot and sent to the hospital, but are expected to survive.

In November 2022, for example, a man was stabbed to death on the METRO train downtown, and in April 2023, another man was shot to death at a bus stop in Southwest Houston.
