More From Yahoo News:

No one was reported to be hurt when gunfire broke out in front of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools bus on Tuesday afternoon, a district spokesperson told Channel 9′s Jonathan Lowe. Police now say they have five suspects in custody.


CMS said shots were fired around 6 p.m. near West Boulevard and Watson Drive between two vehicles in the area of the school bus. The bus was not hit and no one on it was hurt.

The bus had at least nine students from Quail Hollow Middle School and a bus driver on board, a spokesperson said. All students made it home before 7:30 p.m.

On Tuesday night, CMPD said it had five suspects in custody believed to be connected to the shooting.

Investigators said the shooting is believed to have stemmed from a road rage incident. They said surveillance video showed shots being fired from a black Dodge Charger. A second car was hit by gunfire, but the driver was not hurt.

CMPD said officers found the car around 10 p.m. and took five people into custody. One person allegedly had a gun and another was bitten by a police dog during the arrest, CMPD said.

Counselors were expected to be at Quail Hollow Middle School on Wednesday as a precaution, a statement to parents from the district said.

MEDIC said it did not respond to the area.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact CMPD at 704-334-1600.

These thugs were riding around all day yesterday posting themselves with guns inside the charger. They’re all worthless scum who don’t deserve the oxygen that they breathe. POS!

Usual Suspects and with about 30 arrests between the three of them you'd think DA Merriweather and the local judges would keep them locked up. But note they will be back out of West Blvd by tonight.

These idiots all hanging together should all hang together. But I doubt that would be stop anyone else but it did seem to work back in the day. Now they will just be released until the people they were shooting at find them. The end result is the same.

Looks like they need to go ahead and implement the new crime prevention program that was presented to the county leaders recently.

We have a horrible district attorney, a horrible sheriff, a so-so police chief, horrendous mayor and city council and evil judges.

What could go wrong?

Much of Merriweather's incompetency comes from budget issues and GOP backed funding is vetoed by Roy Cooper in favor of his WOKE agenda. The DA is short staffed and defense lawyers are gaming the system by playing the calendar. I can't count the number of dismissed felonies because the arresting officer is no longer with CMPD.

Cedar it wasn't a running gun battle. More like a car full of nuggets road raging at some senior citizen. I don't think they've located the target car. Thankfully because of bus cameras they nail the thugs. Maybe they'll keep them off the streets for another 24 hours.

935: And in other news, the sun rose today. Of course Defense attorneys game the calendar, it's what they do. But how many trials have been brought in Meck County this year for a violent offender? The judge can stop this mess ASAP by not granting the continuance and forcing the trial one of the first 5 times the officer shows up. One session of not letting them get by would go a long, long way.

Nuggets being Nuggets now that's funny.

I used to like the phrase "Coon Ass" but it gave way to other less colorful terms.

Like Mofo or Thug everyone knows who you mean but its less insensitive.

But Noogies is not a good as nuggets is goes so well with JJ's Chick Fil A customer service.

Hey you Nuggets you want some sauce with that?

Good thing they didn't sauce Boutnight that would have been sweet.

Haven’t heard from the clot-shot guy in quite awhile . There’s gotta be 1000s dying from the clot-shot at this point.

Hey dimwit ^ do the research for yourself or just believe everything the media tells you and get your shot like a good little boy every 6 months. In case you really want to know though ask Doug Brignole

https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/bodybuilder-and-author-doug-brignole-dies-months-after-getting-covid-vaccine

Or ask Regan Lewis

https://mobile.twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1575926015364317184

So many stories like these it would fill up many books.

Or ask the extra 17% extra dead in Australia or heck the extra dead all across Europe in 2022.

Better yet, just get your shots to slow the spread buddy. While your at it just stay in your house 2 weeks to slow the spread so we don’t have to deal with you walking around in a mask for a while.

2222, your brain cells have been debunked from wearing that mask too tight. Consider getting a life or at least some more COVID shots.

Local media is a joke. Last 24 hours 8 shots fired calls. Unless there's a body it seldom gets air time. Just another day in the hood.

Well this weekend it looks like these four will be sitting out the usual weekend shoot-em-up festivities. Dickson's bond was set at $1,000,000.00!

McManus had his set at $150,000.00
Smith looks like he got a deal at $57,500.00
Kirkpatrick doesn't have a bond listed yet. Could be he's the one who will rat out the others.
