An armed man barricaded himself inside a SEPTA bus Monday morning after two women were killed in Northwest Philadelphia, police said.
Firefighters responding to a blaze at around 3:45 a.m. inside a home on the 8200 block of Williams Avenue in the Cedarbrook neighborhood found two adult women who had been shot, according to authorities. Both women died a short time later at Einstein Medical Center, law enforcement officials said.
Just after 5:45 a.m., a standoff ensued involving a man with a gun inside a bus at Oxford Avenue and Loney Street in Fox Chase, investigators said. The PPD stated that “it is believed the armed individual may be connected to the double homicide” on Williams Avenue.
