Just after 10:30 p.m., the man was attempting to board a CTA bus in the 300-block of West 119th Street and was refused entry because he was not wearing a mask, Chicago police said. The man then took out a gun and fired several shots at the bus as it was headed east on 95th Street, according to CPD.
Two rounds struck the doors of the bus, police said. No one was struck.
