It appears two people had an altercation that led to the shooting, Metro Transit Police said.

“This was a situation between two individuals who knew one another,” said Shiera Goff of Montgomery County police. “So, this was not something where this person was randomly shooting people.”

The shooter ran from the scene and is not in custody.

“We don’t believe that there is reason for anyone to be concerned,” Goff said. “This is an isolated incident. This was a situation that was contained between these individuals, so right now, there is no concern for the community as far as anyone else being targeted.”

Police are talking to the bus driver and reviewing surveillance video. Others on the bus took off after the shooting, and police want to speak to anyone who was on the bus when it happened.
