A teen yakking on his phone on a New York City bus was told by a fellow rider to pipe down — and turned around and fatally shot the guy Monday, cops and law-enforcement sources said.
The 41-year-old victim was blasted in the stomach by the young gunman — estimated to be between 13 and 16 years old — when the pair started arguing about the kid talking too loud into his cell phone on a BX36 bus, police and sources said.
The slaying occurred aound 2:30 p.m. on board the vehicle at East Tremont Avenue and White Plains Road in Parkchester in The Bronx, police and sources said.
