During a press conference, police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said a preliminary investigation revealed at about 3:45 p.m., a group of teens were waiting at the SEPTA bus stop when two people walked up and opened fire.
Gunfire struck and killed a 17-year-old boy at the scene, the commissioner said, and struck and injured four other people, including two other teen boys and two women on the bus.

Two other teens hit, two women shot on bus
Two other boys, ages 14 and 15, suffered gunshot graze wounds and were taken to a local hospital where they were in stable condition, police told USA TODAY.
The 14-year-old was shot in the buttocks, police said, and the 15-year-old was shot in the right shoulder.
Gunfire also went through the bus striking a 71-year-old woman in the head and a 50-year-old woman in the arm. Both were taken to a local hospital and were expected to survive, police said Wednesday.
"It's never fortunate when we lose a child," Bethel said, adding the scene "could have been much worse" considering so many people were in the area when bullets started flying.
