Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Ride the Bus…
When I think about public transportation, I worry about whether or not the bus, train or taxi cab is a) going to be able to figure out where I live and b) get me to where I need to be on time. That being said, the last thing on my mind (as well as the minds of most people) is being fired at while sitting on the bus. Unfortunately, you heard me right…
According to an article published by FoxNews, a bus packed with approximately 40 passengers in Worcester, Massachusetts was hit eight times by projectiles apparently fired from none other than a pellet gun. And while pellet guns aren’t necessarily as dangerous as a real gun, they are still dangerous enough and when used improperly, can seriously injure and/or kill someone.
The shooting occurred around 3:30p.m. Eastern time on June 8, 2009. No one has been arrested in connection with this incident, however. According to police reports, one elderly, male passenger was taken to the hospital after the pellets struck and broke the window causing him to be hit in the chest by shattered glass. Other than that, the Worcester Regional Transit Authority bus only suffered minor damage which included a cracked windshield.
I don’t know about you, but I certainly hope that they find out who did this and apprehend him/her. No doubt, it was probably a youth, which then raises additional concerns about young people owning pellet guns….
