18 May 2023: Charlotte, North Carolina

A bus driver and passenger shot at each other on a moving Charlotte, North Carolina transit bus, leaving both injured, transit authorities said. The incident began when the passenger, identified as Omarri Shariff Tobias, got up while the bus was in motion and asked the driver to let him off between designated bus stops, according to a news release from Charlotte Area Transit System. Tobias pulled out a gun and pointed it at the driver, David Fullard, the transit system said. Fullard also pulled out a gun, the transit system said. Both men fired their guns “in rapid succession,” although it is unclear who shot first, a company spokesperson said. Fullard was struck in the arm and Tobias was struck in the abdomen, according to the transit system.
