COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A Fort Jackson trainee has been arrested after hijacking a school bus with a gun, police say.

According to officials, the incident began around 7 a.m. and occurred near Eagle Park Road and Percival Road. The school bus was transporting elementary students to their school. All of the students and the bus driver are safe, and the suspect is in custody.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott says the trainee was in his third week of training and he ran off from the base and was armed with a rifle.


That could have ended really bad.

Good thing they didn't declare the children hostages or else the police would have just unloaded into the entire bus.

Yes. Probably didn't have any ammo though unless he went awol directly from the range.

Yeah, I haven't been able to find out if the rifle was loaded or not. Sheriff said he ran off in PT clothes and a rifle.

Regardless, scary as shite for those kids.

If training is still the same, he would not have any ammo on him. Too early for range week.

Wonder what his goal was. Reminds me of the deranged man who hijacked a school bus then held a kid (or kids) hostage in an underground bunker. Good YouTube doc on that one.

Maybe the rifle was a rubber ducky.

We had a guy go awol from NTC. Made it all the way to the strip in Vegas, in a humvee, in uniform. He was smart enough not to take any weapons with him though.

So was he white or black? I need to know whether to condemn racism or espouse gun control here.
