Bus driver Bernard Gribbin was allegedly shot 6 times by Zhontay Capers.
A 21-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection to the fatal shooting of a SEPTA bus driver in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood.
According to NBC Philadelphia, Zhontay Capers has been charged with murder and violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, along with other counts.
Police responded to the 4600 block of Germantown Avenue for a report of a shooting at 10:27 a.m. on Thursday. When police arrived at the scene, they found the driver of a Route 23 SEPTA bus with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and throat.
Police said Capers exited the bus, pulled out a gun, and fired a shot at 48-year-old Bernard Gribbin of Abington, Pennsylvania. Gribbin was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 10:36 a.m.
After the initial shot, Capers began repeatedly entering and exiting the bus, allegedly firing a shot at Gribbin each time.
Capers fled the scene but was later captured by a plainclothes SEPTA Police Officer at Greene Street and Queen Avenue. A weapon has not been recovered.
Police say Capers targetted the bus driver, an army veteran, but have not released a motive.
"As you can imagine this is a very traumatic incident for the entire SEPTA family," SEPTA Police Chief Charles “Chuck” Lawson said. "Quite frankly, we’re shell-shocked."
Gribbin had worked with SEPTA for the past 12 years.
