The gunfire erupted along the 82 Westheimer Route, near Buffalo Speedway, causing panic at approximately 11 p.m. METRO officials recount the unruly passenger at the heart of the altercation was forced off the bus when tensions reached a boiling point, and then, with vehemence, the individual shot multiple times into the crowded vehicle.
