KANSAS CITY, Mo. — More than a half-dozen scared passengers ducked for their lives after bullets hit a city bus on the move through a Kansas City neighborhood.  Police say the Kansas City Area Transit Authority`s MAX was traveling southbound near 40th and Troost on Tuesday night when two gunshots were fired at it.

Nathan Shore told FOX 4 he rides the bus every night, and when those bullets hit the city bus, he and everyone around him immediately hit the floor.

“I kind of jumped up and I was like whoa, whoa… and everybody`s doing the same thing. What was that?” Shore recalled.

Just after 11 Tuesday night the factory worker said he left his job, hopped on a couple of city buses and headed home, but right after he got on the Troost MAX bus, Shore and six other passengers suddenly heard two loud noises.

“Kind of sounded like fireworks. It was crazy!” he said.

Police say they weren`t fireworks, but two real bullets hit the right side of the moving bus just inches from where Shore sat.

“A bullet went through and hit the other side of the bus. Thankfully nobody was up there and so I guess the bullet was inside the bus somewhere and you can hear the shattering in the back window,” Shore described.

He along with four men and two women near him panicked.

“Why would they shoot at a bus? People they don’t know?” he asked.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. Police say after the bullets pelted the bus, the driver safely drove his startled passengers a few blocks away to Cleaver and Troost.

Cops and bus officials met the passengers when they got off the bullet-riddled bus. Police say it appears no one on the bus was the intended target.

KCATA officials say someone in surveillance video can be seen exiting a driveway as the bullets flew. Another person is seen crossing the street from behind; all possible clues that may lead cops to the shooter.

The thankful father of four is counting his blessings, and can still go home to his kids.

“I ain’t never been through anything like that. God had to be protecting us,” Shore said.

Police ask anyone who knows anything about the bus shooting to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
