Shootout in a bus where a passenger pulled a gun and the driver pulled a gun of his own.
And here is the irony: The bus is a Gun Free Zone.
The driver was fired, but alive.
That driver is now off the job.
“We don’t want anyone possessing weapons on our vehicles,” said Interim Charlotte Area Transit System CEO Brent Cagle.The transit system said Fullard didn’t properly deescalate the situation and was not allowed to bring a gun to work.
I am going with he did de-escalated the situation. A gun was out menacing him, what was he supposed to do? Sing Kumbaya?
The suspect is wounded and under arrest. Not betting he will remain behind bars for long.
I view those signs as a guideline rather than a rule.
Love how the news drone flat-out states the driver shot the thug for asking to get off between stops. But then they (quietly) admit the thug drew his pistol first.
And the bus company can get screwed. If they’re going to demand no one be armed, they need to take responsibility for their personal safety. If they’re unwilling to do that, then they should get back in the United States.
