Police probe gunfire on bus in Wilmerding
The Pittsburgh Regional Transit police are seeking two men who fired a gun inside a bus Tuesday night in Wilmerding, according to Tribune-Review news partner WPXI.
No one was hurt in the shooting that occurred just after 10 p.m. near the intersection of Patton Street and Middle Avenue, a regional transit spokesman said. Four other passengers were on the bus when the shot was fired.
The transit police said a video of the incident shows one man taking the gun out of a backpack, placing it on his lap, then pulling the trigger. After a bullet hit a window at the back of the bus, the driver stopped the vehicle, opened the front door and both men fled.
Anyone with information should contact the Pittsburgh Regional Transit at 412-442-2000.
