A 13-year-old boy was arrested after Denver police alleged he fatally shot a 60-year-old man after an argument on a bus on Saturday.

The Denver Police Department said the verbal exchange appears to have started because the victim’s leg was blocking the aisle on the bus. The verbal exchange escalated and the boy shot the victim, police said.

Denver police officers responded to the bus, which was located at South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue, around 6:41 p.m.

When officers got there, they found the 60-year-old man who had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
