Man shot at Dayton bus stop

Dayton's WDTN is reporting that "there were some scary moments at a Dayton bus stop Wednesday night as a man was shot while waiting for the bus."

From the story:

The victim was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital after being shot twice in the stomach. According to police he was just waiting for the bus with his girlfriend and did not know his attackers.

It happened just after 11 Wednesday night.

Officers say four people were at the RTA bus stop on West Third near College when two men walked by starting an argument with them. Police say the suspects began making comments about the victim's girlfriend, a fight ensued, and that's when one of the suspects opened fire.

"One of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the guy in the stomach twice. The suspects went down College and east on Mercer," said Lt. Robert Mannix.

At last report, all Dayton RTA busses are posted with "no-guns" signs, despite a statement by Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro last year that such signs are not enforceable. As as result, anyone waiting for the bus are being affirmatively rendered defenseless victims.
