Inset: Harrington Hurdle (Dallas County Jail). Background: Police investigate a fatal shooting on a Dallas bus (KTVT).

A Texas man wearing a Jason-style hockey mask allegedly opened fire on a Dallas bus after a dispute with another man, shooting him nine times with a Draco AK-47.

Harrington Hurdle, 27, stands accused of murder in the Sunday shooting death of 43-year-old Norman Paul Brown III on a Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by local Fox affiliate KDFW, surveillance video showed a man later identified as Hurdle wearing the mask — which resembled the one worn by the fictional killer “Jason” in the “Friday the 13th” movies — along with a green jacket, tan shorts and black socks with a backpack.

Hurdle was on one bus wearing the mask, then got off before sitting on a platform. He entered another bus and sat next to the victim. The two reportedly had some sort of argument.

“The suspect then put the hockey mask back on, pulled a Draco-style AK-47, and then shot the victim,” the affidavit reportedly said.

Hurdle allegedly fired nine times at the victim. No one else was hurt. It”s unclear if the suspect and victim knew each other before the shooting. Cops released surveillance images of the suspect and police spotted him on Tuesday. He was taken into custody after a short pursuit, according to KDFW. Hurdle reportedly held a backpack and AK-47 similar to what was seen on the video.

He is being held in the Dallas County Jail without bond.

The shooting was the second on a DART bus in a week. A bartender named Daniel Gromley was shot and killed on Sept. 29. Police arrested Christopher Akins on a murder charge.

“DART Police continues to maintain a visible presence across the system to ensure a safe transit environment for everyone,” the agency said in a statement to Law&Crime.
