MEDIC told Channel 9 one person had life-threating injuries and was taken to the hospital. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police confirmed that person was driving a city bus.

At the scene, Channel 9 could see a Charlotte Area Transit System bus with a hole in the windshield. About a dozen police cars lined Lasalle Street and officers appeared to be investigating the shooting.

No one else on the bus was hurt, CMPD said.

Investigators said people in two cars were “engaged in a conflict” when a stray bullet went into the bus, hitting the driver.

Neighbors told Channel 9′s Glenn Counts they heard three of four shots before coming outside to look.

One of the passengers on the bus said he didn’t see the shooting happen, but told Counts that the driver was hit in the chest near the clavicle area.

Another witness said the car with the gunman was coming from the opposite direction with a passenger hanging out the window and shooting at the bus.

Police have not yet shared information about suspects in the case.
