A shooting occurred on a Metro Transit bus this evening in north Minneapolis, and one person was taken to a hospital, the transit spokesman said.
The condition of the victim and what prompted the shooting shortly after 7 p.m. was not immediately known. It occurred while the bus was at Emerson and 18th Avenues N., said transit spokesman Bob Gibbons.
There were other passengers on the bus, along with the driver. Theres no immediate indication that anyone else was harmed.
The shooting occurred on the No. 5 line, which Gibbons described as the most heavily used in the region.
He added that because of the communities it goes through, it has its share of difficulties. The No. 5 runs from Brooklyn Center, through north Minneapolis, downtown Minneapolis, south Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington and the Mall of America.
