OAKLAND — Two teen-agers arrested for shooting up a city bus and killing the driver originally planned to hijack the vehicle and murder all 21 people aboard Friday, homicide investigators said today.
The foiled massacre plot was disclosed in confession statements made by the two suspects, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old, said homicide Lt. Jim Hahn of the Oakland Police Department. Names of the suspects, who calmly rode home on another city bus after the shooting, were not released. They were family friends of two previous suspects who had been suspected because their mother was killed Thursday in an accident with an AC Transit bus.
