A suspect was arrested Tuesday in connection with a shooting that occurred during a fight aboard a Foothill Transit bus in Baldwin Park.
Details about the suspect were not immediately available. California Highway Patrol officials scheduled a late-afternoon news conference to discuss the arrest.
The shooting occurred shortly after 6 p.m. Monday aboard a bus on the westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway east of Puente Avenue, according to the CHP.
CHP officials said the suspect got into a verbal argument with the bus driver and a passenger. The suspect pulled out a firearm, leading to a physical altercation with another passenger that led to shots being fired, according to the CHP.
One passenger — reported to be a woman who was not involved in the actual fight — was struck by gunfire. The bus driver stopped at the Puente Avenue bus stop, where the suspect got off the bus and fled on foot, CHP officials said.
The wounded passenger was taken to Los Angeles County General Medical Center, but suffered non-life-threatening injuries, CHP officials said.
According to the CHP, there were 17 people aboard the bus at the time of the shooting.
