LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Investigators have made arrests in the shooting death of a woman who was hit by a bullet as she rode on a Lincoln city bus.
Police on Friday arrested 27-year-old Joel Jones Jr., of Lincoln, on suspicion of second-degree murder and several weapons counts in the Thursday afternoon death of 69-year-old Sharon Johnson.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports Johnson was on a bus when a bullet entered it through the drivers side and hit her in the head. Police also arrested 19-year-old Jarell Wheeler on suspicion of being an accessory to second-degree murder.
Police Chief Jeff Bliemeister says investigators contend Jones purposely fired at the bus but didnt target Johnson.
