Gunfire hits school bus outside Seattle elementary school, no one hurt

Source: Bangor News

SEATTLE — A school bus arriving outside a Seattle elementary school to pick up children at the end of the day Thursday was struck by gunfire, prompting a lockdown of the school and a search for suspects, but no one was hurt, city police and school officials said.

The bus driver heard loud noises, then saw that two windows in the vehicle had been shattered and realized that the bus was under fire before he took shelter inside the school, Seattle Public Schools spokeswoman Stacy Howard said.

No children were on the bus at the time, she said.

The shooting occurred shortly before 4 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, which has a student body of about 370 children in kindergarten through fifth grade, Howard said.
