Police said one 17-year-old was pronounced dead at a hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to the body. Two 15-year-olds had graze wounds and a 49-year-old woman and a 71-year-old woman on the bus were hit. The older women was hit in the head and the younger woman was hit in the arm. All four of the wounded were in stable condition.
Officials said the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Route 6 bus drive sped away from the scene for several blocks and the shooters fled.
