PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― A SEPTA bus carrying dozens of passengers was caught in the crossfire of a deadly shooting in North Philadelphia Thursday afternoon.

Police say a 19-year-old male was shot seven times while standing in the 2100 block of Diamond Street at 2 p.m.

The unidentified shooting victim was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3 p.m.

A SEPTA bus traveling on Diamond Street was struck by at least one stray bullet shattering a window. No passengers were wounded. The bus driver drove through the gunfire and stopped the bus near 21st and Dauphin Streets where riders were greeted by police.
