2 teens arrested after argument leads to gunfire on SEPTA bus in Northeast Philadelphia, officials say
Two teenagers were arrested after a SEPTA bus was struck by gunfire in Northeast Philadelphia following an argument Friday evening, a spokesperson for the transit agency said.
The Route 3 bus was near Frankford and Kensington avenues in the city's Frankford neighborhood when it was hit by gunfire around 5 p.m., according to police.
A spokesperson for SEPTA said that a 14-year-old boy and an 18-year-old boy had gotten into an argument on the bus, then one of the boys got off the bus, turned back and shot at the bus. The other teen then got off the bus and fired back.
No one on the bus was hit, and it's unknown how many people were on board at the time.
The 14-year-old ran from the scene afterwards but was ultimately arrested and taken into custody near Frankford Avenue and Sellers Street. The 18-year-old was arrested shortly after the shooting, according to SEPTA.
Charges for either of the teens have yet to be announced.
