A suspect has been caught after going on a shooting spree aboard a Greyhound bus in Northern California on Wednesday night. The suspect left one person dead and several others wounded after the incident occurred.
After further investigation it was reported that five people were shot aboard the bus, including the victim who passed.
The Oroville Police Department and Butte County Sheriff’s Office responded to 911 calls at around 7:35 p.m. about a shooting taking place inside a bus located outside a convenience store, according to a Butte County Sheriff’s Office statement.
Officers arrived to find several people with gunshot wounds, according to police. One person was pronounced dead at the scene and others were transported to local hospitals, the office said.
The suspect fled the scene before law enforcement arrived, but the Oroville Police Department received additional 911 calls reporting the suspect was inside a nearby Walmart, police said. At the store, officers located the suspect, who appeared to be fully naked, as well as evidence connecting them to the shooting.
The suspect was taken into custody and brought to the Butte County Jail, according to the statement.
Although Oroville police have stated that the incident stemmed from an altercation on the bus; other details of the shooting, including a motive, weren’t immediately released.
The shooting victims were transported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico to undergo medical treatment.
Oroville, a city of about 20,000, is located about 68 miles north of Sacramento.
Imagine that, people are walking time bombs!!
All I can say is, people we just need to mind our own business, always an altercation of sorts, I just keep my distance & keep my eyes open to my surroundings. Stay safe Folks
I used to use buses rather than airlines due to the differences in costs. But with the druggies, thieves, crazies, and such on the buses it gave that up.
LOL! Been on a plane lately?
When I first started flying commercially, back in 1970, people dressed in their “Sunday Best” to fly. Of course, even the seats in “COACH” were scaled like your ordinary living room chair with leg room for all but the freakishly tall. Stewardesses were young, attractive, and unmarried and bore a status only just below movie starlet and fashion model, which, sexist tho’ it might have been, did encourage civilized, even chivalrous behavior.
The typical airline passenger load nowadays looks like the rejects from the old Trailways Buses only not as well behaved as those people were, which may reflect the fact that the average “Economy Class” airline compartment looks worse than the old Trailways buses with a fraction of the comfort.
