Three people — including two elementary school kids on their way home from school — were shot after a gunman unleashed an attack on a Washington DC bus Wednesday.

The shooter was aiming for another rider, Chief of Police Robert Contee said at a press conference following the 4 p.m. assault.

Instead, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old were shot, and an adult man was shot twice.

Contee said seven people rushed onto the full Metro bus at a stop in the Brightwood neighborhood and began assaulting one of the passengers.

The fight then spilled onto the sidewalk. One of the assaulters pulled out a gun and began firing.

The children, who were accompanied by adults, had just exited the bus when they were shot, Contee said. They ran back into the car and the bus driver drove the passengers to safety.
