PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA — A 24-year-old concealed carrier drew his firearm and shot at least three times, hitting all three of his alleged attackers while on a city bus.
The teens, ages 17, 16 and 15, were all shot in the legs and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
A man opened fire inside of a SEPTA bus claiming he was being attacked by three teenage boys, police say. The shooting happened just after 1 a.m. on the No. 58 bus at Bustleton Avenue and St. Vincent Street in Oxford Circle.
