The child the woman was with was not injured. Several children were at the bus stop and witnessed the deadly shooting, WDRB reported. 

"It is unacceptable that people simply trying to go to school must fear for their safety," LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey said, according to the TV station. 

"The Jefferson County Coroner's Office will release the name of the victim once the next of kin has been properly notified," a spokesperson for the department told Fox News Digital.
