DENVER (AP) — A 13-year-old boy is accused of fatally shooting a man whose leg was blocking the aisle on a Denver public bus, police said Friday.

The boy, whose name has not been released because he is a juvenile, got into a “verbal exchange” with the 60-year-old victim before shooting him on the bus in southwest Denver on Jan. 27, police said in a statement.

A second person suffered minor injuries that did not require hospitalization.

The suspect was arrested Thursday and was being held for investigation on suspicion of first-degree murder.

No other information was released, and the probable cause statement was not publicly available because the suspect is a minor.

Assuming this wasn't a case of self defense, best to just throw this kid off a cliff and be done with.

I'm sure his father was involved with his upbringing.

He can be charged as an adult under Colarado law, depending on the severity of the crime and the fact he shot on the bus will defnitely be a factor. Get this menace off the streets.
