PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A SEPTA bus driver who reported his gun was stolen from his bus is now out of a job.
The Route 39 driver, whose identity is not yet known, told police he was taking a break at 33rd and Dauphin streets around 9:45 p.m. Sunday and when he returned to the bus, a bag containing his gun was missing.
SEPTA Spokesman Andrew Busch says operators are not allowed to have guns on SEPTA vehicles, and doing so is grounds for termination.
Busch says the operator, a 10-year SEPTA employee, resigned this morning.
