Houston Police Have Cracked Down on Deadly Bus Shooting Case, Arresting Two Suspects Linked to Fatal Incident.
Two individuals connected to a deadly shooting of a woman on a METRO bus in west Houston have been apprehended and charged by the agency. According to METRO officials, the person who opened fire first has been formally accused of murder, while the second suspect who allegedly fired back at another passenger has been charged with unauthorized carrying of a firearm.
The 18-year-old Patrick Scott is identified as the second suspect, who was out on bond for aggravated robbery when he committed the act. The incident occurred just before 3 pm on Wednesday at Richmond Avenue and left one person dead and another injured.
Eyewitnesses described the victim, Caitlin Stup, 25, as an innocent bystander who was riding to work on her bus. Surveillance footage from METRO buses captured the two suspects, who were later confirmed to be in custody shortly after 2:30 pm.
In a statement released by METRO officials, they acknowledged that "this was a tragic and senseless act of violence," and their thoughts remained with those affected by the incident.
The arrest marked a significant turning point in the investigation, allowing authorities to bring closure to families and loved ones of the victims.

- so relieved that they caught the two dudes responsible for that bus shooting 
18 yr old Patrick Scott is still out on bond lol shouldn't that have been a red flag? glad they cracked down hard on METRO and brought some justice to Caitlin Stup's family 
wasn't she just minding her own biz on her way to work? 
Just heard about this crazy bus shooting case in Houston and I gotta say, it's a total nightmare 
and Caitlin Stup was just trying to get to work, like most of us. This whole thing feels like a tragedy 
at least the police were able to catch the suspects pretty quickly so some closure can be had 
. It's just devastating to think about what happened that day, especially to Caitlin Stup who was just minding her own business on the bus 
. The fact that it was an innocent bystander who got caught up in all this is just heartbreaking 
. Now, I hope Patrick Scott and the other suspect get what's coming to them 
. It's a good reminder of why community policing is so important 
. Let's all just take a deep breath and try to stay safe out there 
. 18 year old Patrick Scott is crazy for even thinkin' he could get away with that after bein out on bail for somethin else. and that Caitlin Stup was just tryna ride her bus to work like a normal person, no drama whatsoever. feels bad for the fams of the victims, glad they're finally gettin some closure 
. METRO's statement is pretty on point too, it's a tragedy and senseless violence shouldn't be tolerated 
. remember when you could just walk down the street without some psycho trying to take your life? these new generation kids are messed up 
but seriously though, 25 years old and gone already... what's the point of even having a future 
Now let's all just take a deep breath & hope that Patrick Scott & whoever else r behind bars stay there for good 
in Houston and I'm still trying to process it... like what's going on with these 2 dudes? 
. It's so sad that innocent people had to suffer because of their actions 
, she didn't deserve this... it's just not right 
. The investigation might be over but my thoughts are still with Caitlin's family and friends 
... can you even imagine being on a bus, minding your own biz, when suddenly this happens?! 
. This incident is just a reminder that we need to look out for each other, especially in public places 
.
, but at least now there's a chance for justice for Caitlin Stup and her family. It's always scary when someone gets hurt in such a way... hope these two suspects get the help they need while serving their time 
This is such a sad event. I can imagine how scary it must've been for all the people on that bus 
. And to think one of them was out on bond for another crime... how many lives does one person have to ruin before they realize the impact of their actions?! 
. Anyway, glad the police were able to catch these two thugs and bring some closure to the families... hope they get a long time in 
anyway back to this bus shooting case... what's crazy is how fast the suspects were caught, it's like they had a tracking device or something 
lol and have you seen those surveillance footage videos of old buses? they're soooo retro 
. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this brings some healing to the community 
I don't get why they didn't install CCTV cameras on all METRO buses already 
Wasn't there anyone watching? Or was the bus just too crowded to notice? 
.
Caught on camera: the bus shooter who changed lives forever
