This American Life recently aired a crazy story called, “Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers.” Here’s a sample:

“The first murder happened at 7:45 am, on August 28th, on bus route 4A. That morning, a woman hailed bus 718, climbed the steps, pulled a gun and shot the driver. The driver jumped out of the bus trying to escape but died on the sidewalk.
