Man Barricaded on SEPTA Bus Could Be Connected to Double Homicide, Police Said
Police said the armed man was alone on the bus as investigators probed a possible link to two women found shot dead in a burning home.
- On Monday, an armed man barricaded himself inside a SEPTA bus in Philadelphia's Fox Chase neighborhood, prompting police to close roads near Rhawn Street and Oxford Avenue.
- Investigators suspect the barricade relates to an earlier incident in East Mount Airy, where firefighters discovered two women with fatal gunshot wounds inside a burning home on Williams Avenue.
- Philadelphia Police Department officers responded to the 7900 block of Oxford Avenue around 5 a.m. after the man refused to exit the bus, which contained no other passengers.
- The suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after transport to Abington Hospital, ending the standoff that PPD lifted at 5:03 p.m.
- Detectives continue to investigate the incident, though the suspect's identity remains unknown and officials confirmed no officers were injured during the Monday confrontation.
