MINNEAPOLIS _ A school bus driver was shot Tuesday afternoon on an interstate just south of downtown Minneapolis and the gunman was quickly arrested, authorities said.
The victim was shot sometime after 2 p.m. while driving a small bus on Interstate 35W near Chicago Avenue, according to emergency dispatch audio.
The driver was taken by emergency medical vehicle away from the scene with non-life-threatening injuries, said police spokesman John Elder.
The shooting followed a motor vehicle crash and the suspect was apprehended, Elder said.
A Minnesota Department of Transportation image from one of its traffic cameras shows one law enforcement officer pointing a gun at a person standing near an open door of a sedan that was stopped ahead of the bus, while another officer stands behind the person.
There was one student on the bus at the time, the dispatch audio revealed. A Minneapolis School District spokesman was trying to confirm whether the bus was serving his district.
Minneapolis police are leading the investigation.
