Reports WUSA:
Dan Stessel, spokesman for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, says a passenger on the W4 bus to Deanwood was shot several times by two suspects at a bus stop in the 2300 block of Alabama avenue shortly after midnight.

According to Stessel, the bus has been taken to MPD’s crime lab. The bus is equipped with interior and exterior cameras.Right now police have no description to release on the suspects. Stessel says it is possible they were also riding the bus, but that information has not yet been confirmed
