EAST NEW YORK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A man was fatally shot and a school bus struck by the gunfire in Brooklyn Tuesday morning.

It happened around 8:45 a.m. at Pennsylvania and Dumont avenues in East New York.

Police say the 32-year-old man, identified by relatives as Francisco Bonilla, was shot in the intersection and pronounced dead at Brookdale University Hospital.

Bonilla was shot in front of the building where he lives with his mother, and he reportedly was involved in some sort of argument prior to the shooting.

His family says he has a young daughter.

A school bus with one child on board was also struck, as was an B20 MTA bus.

No other injuries were reported.

No arrests were immediately made, and the investigation is ongoing.

The Department of Education released a statement, saying, "NYPD and EMS immediately responded, and there were no injuries on the bus. We immediately notified the family and will provide any additional support needed."
