Gun man Opens Fire on Bus in Brooklyn New York

A beggar opened fire on a city bus in Brooklyn Friday and shot a man who told him had told him to pipe down, police said.

The 46-year-old hothead was asking for money on the B12 as it rolled through Brownsville, police said. The victim told the creep to stop annoying people, and a fight ensued.

As the quarrel escalated, the thug whipped out a gun and fired four times, hitting the 31-year-old victim in the hand about 9:50 a.m., officials and sources said.

The eastbound bus screeched to a halt in front of the 73rd Precinct stationhouse on East New York Ave. An off-duty cop walking out of the stationhouse rushed onto the bus and arrested the suspect, who was trying to flee, police said. Charges against him were pending.

The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to Brookdale University Hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, officials said.

Police recovered a 9-mm. gun from the bus, cops said.

Martin Luther King’s Family Involved in Bus Accident

A charter bus carrying family members of the late Martin Luther King Jr. was involved in a minor car accident Wednesday, shortly after observances for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, according to published reports and a source close to the family.

A van ran a red light near Washington’s Tidal Basin and this forced the bus driver to slam on the brakes, TMZ reported.

In photos published on the TMZ and Global Grind websites, the company name Shore Motor Coach is seen printed on the side of the bus. But no one could be reached Wednesday evening at the 11-year-old family-owned company based in Linthicum, Md.

No one was hurt, the King family source said, although CNN reported a person in the car was injured and taken to a hospital.

Christine King Farris, King’s 85-year-old sister, and Naomi King, sister-in-law of the civil rights leader, were among those on the bus, the source said. So was reality TV personality Omarosa, according to published reports. At about 6:30 p.m., Manigault tweeted, “Yikes just got banged up a lil bit on bus-I am ok! #HitMyHead ouch.”
