One person was fatally shot on board a bus that was hijacked early on Sept. 25 in downtown Los Angeles, the police said.

The pursuit started when police officers responded to a flashing “Call 911” digital readout on a Line 81 bus at about 12:45 a.m. at Figueroa Street and Manchester Avenue in the Vermont Knolls neighborhood of South Los Angeles, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told The Epoch Times.
