MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A bus driver fatally shot two passengers over the weekend in a Miami suburb but authorities were still sorting out the circumstances that led to the shooting, police said Monday.
The driver was arrested and questioned but has not yet been charged. An investigation is ongoing.
The shooting took place at around 3 a.m. Sunday as the two men were riding the bus in Miami Gardens, according to the city’s police department.
Miami-Dade bus drivers are not allowed to be armed while on the job, according to Deborah Souverain, a spokesperson for the county’s Transportation and Public Works Department.
The two men were pronounced dead after being airlifted to Aventura Hospital just over 10 miles (16 kilometers) away. They haven’t yet been identified.
Miami Gardens is home to around 110,000 people and is located north of downtown Miami.
