A male suspect opened fire on a Muni driver at about 6 am Monday morning near the Fourth and King Caltrain station, though the driver was not hit by the gunfire, and the suspect was pretty quickly apprehended.
An alarming start to the early Monday morning commute this week for some riders (and in particular, one Muni driver), as KRON4 reports that someone took gunshots at a Muni driver at around 6 am Monday morning. The driver was not hurt, and the suspect was arrested not long thereafter.
Per KRON4, the shooting was at around 6 am Monday morning at Fourth and Berry streets, about one block southeast of the Caltrain station. Police say they responded to reports of gunshots, and upon arriving, the Muni driver told them that an unidentified male had fired shots at him.
Accordng to a Tuesday morning statement from the SFPD, "There were 15-20 passengers inside the bus at the time of the incident." None were hurt. SFPD adds that The bullet went through the windshield and struck a passenger seat inside the bus."
That Muni driver was also not hit by the gunfire. He was assessed by paramedics and deemed to not have been injured in any way. The driver told police the suspect fled on foot down Fourth Street.
SFPD reportedly identified and located that suspect in fairly short order later Monday morning. They identfy the suspect as 58-year-old Adolph Patrick Greene of Oakland.
