Arrest Made in Illinois After Gunshot Fired on Megabus

DES PLAINES, Ill. (AP) — Illinois State Police have a man in custody accused of firing a gun on a Megabus in suburban Chicago.

Police say about 50 people were on the bus when a gun was fired in the bus bathroom at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. No one was injured.

The bus was traveling from Chicago to Minneapolis. Authorities say passengers tackled the man as he exited the bathroom and held him until police arrived where the bus stopped at the Des Plaines Oasis on Interstate 90. Authorities say charges are pending and the man hasn’t been cooperative.

Megabus spokesman Sean Hughes says passengers were transferred to another bus “out of abundance of caution” and continued the trip.
