MIRAMAR - Police say a teenage girl shot another girl in the chest as they argued on a school bus in this Fort Lauderdale suburb Tuesday.
Kaliesha Cheatam, 17, of Hollywood was in serious condition at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, but her injuries were not life-threatening, officials said. Camille Burke, 17, of Miramar surrendered and gave police the .32-caliber handgun she allegedly used, police spokesman Bill Robertson said.
Robertson said Burke faces a charge of premeditated attempted murder.
There were about 30 students on the bus when Cheatam was shot while riding to the Parkway Academy charter school, Robertson said.
The two girls had gotten into an argument Monday, and it continued Tuesday when they got on the bus, he said.
