LOS ANGELES—A passenger was fatally shot aboard a hijacked Metro bus early Wednesday, and the suspect was arrested after a slow pursuit through downtown Los Angeles, with the violence again raising concerns about safety aboard the transit system.
According to Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Donald Graham, officers initially went to the area of Manchester Boulevard and Figueroa Street around 12:45 a.m. in response to radio calls of a disturbance and possible assault with a deadly weapon on a bus. Police ultimately found the bus at 117th Street and Figueroa.
