NEW YORK -- A teenager was shot in the chest in the Bronx on Saturday, causing terrifying moments aboard an MTA bus.
It happened just before 6 p.m. near Metcalf Avenue and Story Avenue in the Soundview section.

Police say they responded to a 911 call for a person shot.
We're told there was some sort of commotion on the Bx5 bus while dozens of passengers were on board, but what happened next remains under investigation.
Police say at some point, a teen was shot and rush to a local hospital in stable condition.
