Three women were hospitalized after a group of males opened fire at the Route G bus in West Philadelphia on Tuesday, SEPTA said.
Philadelphia Police said the triple shooting happened at South 57th Street and Catharine Street a little after 4:30 p.m.
The three women who were shot are in stable condition, according to police.
Police said a 29-year-old woman was shot once in the hip, a 60-year-old woman suffered a graze wound on the right side of her head and a 56-year-old woman was shot in her lower back.
Three males, possibly juveniles, got on the SEPTA bus in South Philly on Oregon Avenue and had some words with the bus driver, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told CBS News Philadelphia later on Tuesday.
Small said they didn’t pay the fare, according to the bus driver, and walked to the back of the bus. At 57th and Catharine, Small continued, the three males got off the bus and fired four shots into the bus.
