#news A 25-year old woman was shot and killed on Houston bus by two teenagers who were out on bond for violent crimes. However, critics point out that no protests were held in defense of the woman.
Caitlin Jacobi Stup was riding a Houston METRO bus on her way to work at a restaurant in Uptown Houston.
That’s when she was shot by a criminal who was trying to shoot another teenage criminal.
17-year-old Brayden Smith boarded, walked down the aisle, pulled out a handgun, and fired two shots toward 18-year-old Patrick Scott.
Caitlin Stup seated nearby, was hit in the head and died.
A 16-year-old male passenger was also wounded (he had non-life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital the next day)
Police say there was an argument between Smith and Scott.
Smith fired the fatal shots, with Scott not accused of shooting back.

Smith was already on juvenile probation for attempting to commit aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
He’s being charged with murder.
