Two people were wounded late Friday morning when a physical altercation on a public transit bus escalated into a shooting and an accidental shooting in the northeast Las Vegas Valley.

A toddler under the age of 5 was last reported in critical but stable condition at University Medical Center while a teenage adult was stable at the same hospital, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The shooting on the RTC bus occurred just after 10:40 a.m. near Kell Lane and North Nellis Boulevard, police said. An adult teenager was shot by a juvenile teenager while on the bus.

The shooter fled toward a nearby daycare center, jumping a wall and leaving behind a loaded gun behind as he fled. A toddler picked up the gun and shot themselves.

Police said the juvenile teenager is in custody and charges are pending, possibly being charged as an adult.
