(RT) – A Greyhound bus en route from Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area became a crime scene on Monday after a gunman opened fire inside, injuring six people, some seriously. One person has since died. A passenger opened fire shortly before 1:30 local time, when the bus was traveling on a highway near Fort Tejon road in Kern County. It is not clear why the suspect began the rampage.
“The bus driver acted quickly and was able to pull over and stop,” California Highway Patrol Sergeant Brian Pennings said. The suspect then left the bus “voluntarily without further incident,” and was taken into custody, Pennings stated.
There were 40 passengers on the bus when the shooting happened. Six of them have been hospitalized with gunshot injuries, some reportedly “major.” Footage from the scene shows police swarming a parked Greyhound bus, which had been cordoned off by police. READ MORE
