On Wednesday, a suspect was arrested following a shooting on a Greyhound bus in California that left one person dead, and injured several others, CNN reports.
Five people in total were shot by the suspect, Oroville, California mayor Chuck Reynolds confirmed. Police responded to reports of gunfire aboard the bus at around 7:35 p.m. when it was parked outside of a convenience store in the northern California city. When authorities got to the scene, they discovered one person who was pronounced dead, and four others who were transported to nearby hospitals.
The shooter fled the scene before local police arrived, but later 911 calls reported that he went into a Walmart nearby. The suspect was later contacted by police, during which they “located evidence” tying him to the shooting. He was apprehended and taken into custody at the Butte County Jail, according to a statement from local police.
“I think that this is a changing world where life is not as precious as it used to be,” mayor Reynolds told CBS News. He also described the suspect as “incoherent,” and said that he got into a physical altercation with authorities in which he removed their clothes before he was apprehended. Sources at the scene told CBS that there was no gunfire from authorities or the suspect inside of the Walmart.
Police have yet to reveal a possible motive behind the shooting, or the identity of the suspect.
