PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities in Philadelphia say seven bystanders were injured in another shooting involving a city bus. Wednesday’s shooting is the fourth gunfire incident on the transit system in as many days. A transit spokesperson says the latest shooting took place in the afternoon in northeast Philadelphia. John Golden says the injured were people on the street. They were taken to two hospitals. Two buses were hit by gunfire, but there were no reports of passengers or the driver being hurt. School district spokesperson Monique Braxton said the shooting occurred near two schools, but she didn’t know whether any students were victims.
