I'm sorry, this is obviously a lie. Schools are gun-free zones, by LAW (!), and so no student would think of bringing a gun onto a school bus because when the bus got on school property he would be in violation of the law.
Q.E.D.

You should be uh-SHAMED of posting such a transparent lie.

Rumor has it the kids in our district have their guns in the backs of their pick-ups, especially during hunting season (which it is now), and especially if they don’t get a deer before school.

Bringing a gun on a school bus is blindingly stupid, at the very least. But then again, there’s lots of redneck areas in NYS, believe it or not.

Sheriff’s Investigators say Heinig was in possession of the weapon, when he fired it toward the seat that was directly in front of him. The bullet passed through two seats and between two kids seated in front of him.

It's a wonder someone wasn't killed.

What puzzles me is that the shooting was at 11:15 AM on the way from BOCES back to the school. I could see a kid sneaking a gun onto the bus when leaving home, but how the heck did it get through the morning and into BOCES? Those kids go to the school first thing in the morning and then pick up a bus TO BOCES, stay there for their time, and then come back. Someone had to be sneaking that gun around a fair amount of time.
