PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Police are shutting down several streets in Philadelphia’s Fox Chase section due to a barricade situation early Monday morning.
Police were called to the 7900 block of Oxford Avenue around 5 a.m. after reports of a man with a weapon.
When officers arrived, they say a man with a handgun was refusing to get off a Route 18 SEPTA bus.
The man allegedly told the bus driver that he had just killed two people.
This comes as police are investigating after two women were found shot in the head when crews responded to an early-morning house fire on Monday in the city’s East Mount Airy section. So far, police have not linked the two scenes.
Officials say no one else in on the bus.
Police have shut down surrounding streets.
