HPD has released a composite sketch in the HISD bus shooting incident:
A composite sketch was released Thursday of a man suspected of shooting at a bus filled with Houston Independent School District students, shattering a window, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Police released the following description of the shooter — an African-American man with a very dark complexion, average build, 6 foot 3 inches or taller, in his late teens or early 20s.
I guess since the sketch clearly shows a black man, local media can now include the full description.
So far this has only shown up on KPRC-2’s website. We’ll see if other local news sites follow suit.
UPDATE: The Chron has a new story posted with the headline, “Teens offer description of man who shot at HISD bus”:
Police are crediting a sharp-eyed teenager with giving them a solid description of a man who fired a gun at a moving HISD bus.
The girl, 13, was among about 30 students riding the bus in the 9900 block of Ashville about 5 p.m. Tuesday when a bullet pierced a window two seats behind the driver.
She spotted a man standing near a church just before the single shot rang out.
What? You wanted more of a description than that? Too bad — that’s all the Chron‘s giving us.
KTRK-13’s story includes the sketch and the description.
UPDATE (4-21-2006): KHOU-11 and KTRH-740 post the sketch. KTRH includes the description; KHOU does not.
