Boy Arrested After Shooting MBTA Bus Driver With BB Gun: Police

BOSTON, MA — An underage boy was arrested Monday evening after shooting the driver of a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority South Bay bus with a BB pellet gun, transit police said in a tweet Tuesday morning.

Several other boys were acting disorderly on the bus and the driver asked them to stop before the boy fired the BB gun, transit police said.

The group of boys fled, but authorities found them at the Andrew Square T station and arrested the boy who fired the BB gun, according to transit police.

The bus driver declined medical attention, authorities said.
