2 teens shot on SEPTA bus

Two teenagers were hospitalized after shots were fired inside a SEPTA bus in broad daylight Wednesday in North Philadelphia, authorities said.

The shooting occurred just before noon on a Route 33 bus that was at 21st and Diamond Street, according to police.

An 18-year-old man was shot once in his groin, and the other victim, also an 18-year-old man, was grazed in his thigh, police said. Both were transported to Temple University Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

No one was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
