  • A bus driver and a passenger were injured after they opened fire on each other on a moving bus in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 18, local authorities said. Surveillance video released by Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) shows multiple angles of the morning shootout, which occurred near Charlotte Premium Outlets, a mall southwest of the city. According to reports, the incident started when a passenger, identified as Omarri Shariff Tobias, stood up while the bus was in motion and asked the driver, David Fullard, to let him off between designated bus stops. Both the driver and passenger were transported to a hospital with injuries, police said. Video shows Tobias and Fullard pull out guns as multiple shots are fired, riddling the transparent shield around the driver. Another angle shows Tobias crawl and move toward the middle of the bus, near an exit door. No other passengers were injured, local media said. Following the incident, Tobias spent six days in hospital, faced “several assault charges” and was jailed with a $250,000 bond, while Fullard was dismissed from his duties, local media reported. In a statement, a CATS representative said it was against company policy for an employee to have a weapon on their property or while performing their job, according to local reports.

      I don't know if it's confirmed that the passenger initially wanted to be let off the bus, but if that's the case the driver should have let him off.
      The person the driver was shooting at was next to innocent people. Yet the driver continued to fire not caring if he hit an innocent person.

If they are in public service, by which I mean, they work around members of the public, like a bus driver, then they should have to qualify to the same firearm proficiency standards as the state police in orde to be able to carry. By flat out banning weapons, then potentially untrained employees are going to be running around with guns. If you give them a path to carry through training, then less chances you'll have random employees carrying, and the ones that do carry are trained just as well as the police, making sure the public is better protected.

      isn't being a hooded, cowardly gangster cool? aren't guns fun? thanks rap for promoting this crap over the last 30 years. black on black crime has skyrocketed, blacks often live in daily terror as gangs roam their neighborhoods brutalize their neighbors over "territory" and control. meanwhile rappers continue to glamorize this culture of terror, this thug mentality, teaching young men that pursuing wealth at all costs, ridiculous posturing and violence is what being a man is all about.
      and of course the wonderful, clueless left applauds rap for it. can't criticize black gangsters and predators. that's racist. in a world gone mad sanity is rejected and demonized.

    as a YOUNG Woman at the time covering routes for Routes on vacation, I actually was in the middle of a intoxicated Customer/Owner of Juke Joint in Goldsboro NC & He pulled gun on CHILDREN!
    Cause they were teasing Him bout being drunk.
    The part I relate to was that I was NOT allowed to carry ANY KIND of protection for My Self,
    not even pepper spray,

      Except for the part where he shot at innocent passengers, repeatedly, like when the suspect was crawling over them trying to get away. I live here and with the nuances of our self defense laws he's lucky to not be getting charged himself with that reckless shooting. Idk abt the veracity but it was reported locally that he locked them all in there and wouldn't let them off too which is what started the whole situation and shot at them again while they were trying to open the door. If it was me on that bus and that man locked me in and shot me while trying to mag dump into someone already running away I'd raise hell and want accountability. Both the driver and the suspect were an issue.
