Man gunned down on Metrobus

A 22-year-old Metrobus rider was gunned down by other riders just after midnight Thursday in Southeast D.C. Police had not made any arrests in the slaying of Demetrius Emmanuel Thompson as of late Thursday. They did not release a motive in the case, nor descriptions of the suspects.

But initial reports said the shooters were trying to get the victim off the bus, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. Thompson was then shot at least four times while standing in the doorway of the W4 Metrobus, he said.
