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.

I didn’t notice a description of the gun (Multi-tasking here PLUS my new kitten is learning to type — on my keyboard) It sounds like it must have been a mouse gun, like a .22 caliber snubbie or something. It IS a miracle nobody was hit.
