this makes you want to put your kids on the bus... (drunk)

CUMBERLAND CITY, Tenn. A school bus driver was shot to death as she drove her route Wednesday morning and a male student was taken into custody, authorities said. No students were hurt.

Law enforcement source who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that the bus driver died.

At the time of the shooting, the bus was carrying up to 20 students, ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade, said Bill Austin, a supervisor for Stewart County schools.

The student taken into custody was identified only as a teenager.

The bus crashed into a utility pole at the driveway of the student's home and knocked out power in the rural neighborhood. A white sheet was draped across the front of the bus and door as authorities investigated the scene.

Mitchell Kern, a neighbor who graduated from high school last year, said the student who was taken into custody is 15 years old.

"He was a good kid,'' Kern said. "He listened to his parents; they loved him to death.''

Stewart County school superintendent Phillip Wallace declined to identify the driver, other than to say she had worked for the schools for two years.

Cumberland City is about 50 miles northwest of Nashville.
 
i saw the news clip too. The kid was familiar with guns so they were openly avail to him. its like one of those towns where everyone hunts and is familiar with guns. They said they didnt expect it but he was being teased by either kids at school or siblings i forget. but they said other than that they have no idea why he did it. scarry.
 
Or how about the school bus driver that was speeding, and driving reckless who crashed into a tree, killing a student.
 
Aren't like pellet guns enough? I'm sure you could design it with a lot of recoil and a lot of noise to make it more real. I've never fired one before so I don't really see thr alure of it. Statistics never lie though. In countries where there are no guns there are virtually no deaths by gunshot.

Not always true. I Austrailia they outlawed civilian guns and the death rate by shootings went up on average of 14% over the next three years.

Well, recently, a femal bus driver here was arrested for drunk driving. Only a few junior school children where still on the bus, when the lady driving the bus, bounced it off several snow banks, and then two parked cars. She just kept going, and was later stopped by police...so, to recap, Hit and run, Drunk Driving, wreckless endangerment..and prolly more. Boy am I glad I walked to school when I was younger.

Ahhh doh! if there are virtually no guns then how would someone get shot? But also in countries where guns are just as avaiable there aren't as many gun shootings as we have here. The problem lies in the reason people are killing more.

For the simple reason that when guns are outlawed....the only people with guns will be the OUTLAWS...

and the law of course.
 
Have you guys heard about the bus that stalled over the railroad? its old but they say the ghost of the children will push you car the rest of the way if you let off the gas and put your car into neutral.(if you start it on neutral 100 feet or so behind, and its slightly uphill) Its been tested not by me but seems wierd. like the kids are making sure you make it through. People has even put powder on the back of the car and when they go through they find marks that look almost like fingerprints. The bus stalling is 100% true, the ghosts i only heard.
 
People say the Cities are violent, but you notice things like this always happen in the country?
