One person has died and several others were hurt Wednesday evening after a Butte County shooting inside a bus, officials said.
The Butte County Sheriff’s Office said the Oroville Police Department started getting calls around 7:35 p.m. about a shooting inside a Greyhound bus outside the ampm store on Feather River Boulevard and Oro Dam. First responders arrived and found “several subjects suffering from gunshot wounds” who were transported to area hospitals. One person died at the scene despite life-saving measures.
The shooting suspect fled before law enforcement arrived, the sheriff’s office said. Shortly after officers and deputies arrived at the scene, the police department started getting more calls about the suspect, who was now inside the nearby Walmart on Cal Oak Road. Law enforcement personnel took the person into custody and transported them to the Butte County Jail.
The sheriff’s office said some of the shooting victims were transported to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.
