A bus driver and a passenger were both injured in an exchange of gunfire
on a North Carolina city bus earlier this month, local transportation
authorities said. The May 18 shooting began after the passenger asked to
get off the bus between designated stops, according to a Charlotte Area
Transit System news release. A verbal argument between driver and
passenger escalated when the passenger, identified as Omarri Shariff
Tobias, began taunting the driver. “I dare you to touch me,” he says in
surveillance footage of the altercation. “I’m going to pop your ass.” He
then pulls out a firearm. The driver, David Fullard, then reveals a gun of
his own. A company spokesperson told CNN that both men fired their weapons
“in rapid succession” as two other passengers on the bus scrambled for
cover, though it is not clear who shot first. Both men suffered non-life-
threatening bullet injuries in the incident. Tobias was charged with
assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injuries, communicating
threats, and carrying a concealed firearm, according to the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Police Department. It was not immediately clear if Fullard
would be charged, but the transit system said that he had been fired.
