Officials from the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) revealed that a man boarded the bus and fired shots targeted at two male passengers. However, the bullets mistakenly struck a woman in her mid-20s.

METRO Police Chief Ban Tien confirmed that the injured woman was immediately taken to a medical facility, where she unfortunately succumbed to her injuries.

Response and Investigation

Another individual involved in the incident sought medical attention at a nearby hospital, claiming a leg injury from the gunfire, though the extent of his wounds remains unclear.

Following established procedures, the bus driver promptly halted the vehicle and ensured the safety of the remaining passengers by evacuating them from the bus.
