LOS ANGELES – Police in Oroville, Northern California, are investigating Thursday a shooting that left one person dead and four injured on a Greyhound bus heading to Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The incident took place around 7 pm, when the Oroville Police Department began receiving calls to its emergency service about a shooting “inside a bus” that had been parked outside a store after an altercation between passengers.
When police officers arrived at the scene they found several passengers with gunshot wounds. One of the injured people died at the scene, while four others were taken to local hospitals. Among the injured is a minor, the Butte County Sheriff’s Department detailed.
The shooter fled the scene before officers arrived, but authorities received calls shortly after about a subject who was at a nearby Walmart store, where he was eventually arrested.
Suspect took off clothes at Walmart
Oroville Mayor Chuck Reynolds stated that the suspect was acting inconsistently. CBS Sacramento television indicated that the subject took off his clothes at the Walmart before being arrested.
Both the The Butte Sheriff’s Department and the Oroville Police are investigating the incident. The identity of the suspect or the deceased person has not been released.
