- 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.

Can we talk about the quickness of the draw?? And how he still controlled the vehicle? This man is an action movie hero.
and they fired him bcz its against their policy to have a gun... smh
They do call him the transporter for a reason
Strait up
Impressive for sure
@@1mmemorialthey fired him because he also shot at the innocent passengers on the bus. Did you actually watch the video?
the bus driver did the right thing by defending himself
@@SuAmigoElilegal Not at all, he was defending himself !
HE SURE DID!!! AND I'M A PASTOR. GOD, HAS HIS WAY.
@@captainkeyboard1007 captain keyboard. Name says it all.
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.
@@nuttysquirrel8816
That's an odd way to ask to be let off the bus. Sounds like something the mainstream media would make up in order to make the guy defending himself look like the bad guy.
This man had training, and that training saved his life. God bless you sir!!
Yeah. Former drive-by shooter

-Why are you still so skeptical? (Josh again)
-Im beginning to think he's a psycho! (the truck depot manager)
@@ninjaninja9954 It works the _OTHER_ way, too. Consider for just a moment that he mightve been the target in a drive-by one too many times. Just 'cause someone's from the 'hood doesn't automatically make them a gangster
Bro thought he was real tough until the driver almost split his dome
😂😂😂😂
I was like dammmmmn!

Surprised
Just blacks being black
Bus driver has a right to protect himself.
There's a company out there right now that needs folks like him.
Yeah because he can say bye bye to that one for sure.
@gabeeskridge8291 yep he was canned for bringing a gun to work
I hope the bus driver is ok.
👍

Driver deserves a medal, not fired
For friendly fire? You scorched earth people are weak.....
@@jkmatt1 yes he should have waited until he was shot, you must have watched a different video than me bruh because the street was empty.
My concern is that he missed the stop! 💀
@@jkmatt1 it's easy to talk on the internet 😂
Its the bus companies’ loss! A better job is waiting for him…one that appreciates heroic drivers!
@@trashcustrashford9001 It certainly isn't easy riding on a bus.
That bus driver was straight up prepared.
I worked as a city bus driver for 5 years , the worst job I ever had , not job itself , but dealing with thugs , drunks and junkies all day long … never again
He may have lost his job, but he's alive, so im grateful. This situation shows exactly how little employer’s value their employees and how little their lives matter to them. Jobs like bus transportation can be dangerous, and the companies should offer training in lethal defense.
How u know he lost his job?
Anybody can have a gun license..to defend yourself..u can't lose ur job..u have to go to court.. someone put a gun at u how u feel about it
@@oaktown8905 He lost his job, they reported it.
@@oaktown8905 THE! RULE! IS! No! GUNS!
@@MONTIQUEDOLLARD He was obviously carrying because the city bus is dangerous & he needs to protect himself. Hell with the rules, the suits aren’t the ones in harm’s way.
I don't care what they say, the driver did what he supposed to do to save his life.
The bus company don’t care u will be charge
@bachelorpartiesent3855 Good thing the bus company don't charge people.
@@Real_Talk_Ent he wasn't charged. He broke no law, only company policy and that's not a crime.
But do you personally know this man ?

If you mean kill. You're weird.
Shocked when my mom told me this happened to him, but I’m glad he’s ok. Unfair he got fired for defending himself, that man has a family to look after. Really hope David sues the hell outta them
You kno him?
Did he sue them and did he win? And whats your number?
He busted his gun hood like 😂
Your mom’s a man?
Drivers response time is impeccable. Amazing!
Nah, the criminal survived.
Driver saw him through camera or mirror, was ready for him
I said that too. The dude was smiling and laughing assuming he was about to catch the driver slipping and kill him, but the driver was prepared.
His a complete retard for firing backwards as the guy was running away. The big boy sitting in the front could've easily caught a bullet. And then later on he kept shooting to the back while other people were there. Complete idiot
@V. P. N On god!
That driver did an unbelievable job, winning a gunfight while driving a bus. Wow !
I mean the bus did go onto the pavement and had somebody been walking on it at the time it could have been very different.
Not blaming the driver, he could have been shot and killed had he not fired.
Fair play to the driver if he saw the road and pavement clear and made a smart decision to let go of the wheel.
You make no sense at all 😢
Yeah, he did veer right. I mean, common. You’re a professional driver. Keep it on the road. I see why he was fired. Totally unprofessional.
@Inabadtrip you cant be that dumb 🤣 unprofessional when someone tried shooting the driver which would have caused more problems possibly hurting people fr. Instead of him doing his best to control the bus and stop a shooter.
Like seinfeld episode when Kramer talks about gun fight while making all the stops.
Everyone on this planet thinks the driver did the most right thing possible but the law
Dude is a legend. He did everything to perfection here.
Never leave the house without da chrome
I hope the driver is safe and healthy. He deserves an award.
He’s fired buddy
Yea.... An attempted murder charge..!
@DREAMRestore are you kidding? That gun may of been the only thing that saved his life. That passenger very well could of killed him had he not been armed and reacted so fast.
@@dreamrestore213 happy Juneteenth black excellence amirite lol
Maybe the initial berage , he should’ve restrain himself from certain down the aisle and outside
I hate to see someone get fired for doing the right thing. The driver has the right to defend himself and save his own life. The fact that he was terminated with all the surveillance evidence of how this incident went down is absolutely absurd.
Uber is hiring
Insurance/liability reasons no doubt. Most likely wasn't supposed to be carrying, though I can understand why he did.
lol nahhh the city will claim during those 8 hours you are their property.
@@dannylengyel5830 good he did, otherwise he'll probably be dead by now.
It's also for his safety. Who knows who that gang banger knows
Seriously? If you get dismissed from your job for doing your job while defending your life on the job, than that job isn’t worth your life. Screw them.
I’m glad he’s still here and I hope he gets a better job!
Surprised it was two chocolate chips
@@SSNESS😂😂😂😂
Leftism for you. It's pure cancer
Forget the job, having the piece saved his life.
He had a big ole smile on his face as he walked up to assert his dominance on that driver.... that smile turned to a frown REAL FAST.
He turned his smile upside down. 😊☹
yea he was feeling a big ol adrenaline rush right there
I'll bet he somewhere bleeding to death that's if he survived
Hope he's got his dick in the dirt.
David did it right to protect himself! Glad he only lost his job and not his life! With all this media coverage some one will hire him on his bravery alone! Good job David Fullard!
He lost his job? Are you serious
Shouldn't have lost his job at all. I wish more employees in public did carry. I'd feel safer
Brinks will hire him on the spot to protect their money with his life.
@@canadianwildlifeservice8883 dang, that sux lol
I hope that David did not lose his job, but he return there once he is neurologically cured, even though that thug is not yet dead.
Was this guy's previous life a special OP soldier? Handled the situation like a pro, no joke.
This guy was on point, kept safely driving the bus, well aware of his surroundings, took care of any threats to his passengers and himself. How could you possibly handle this situation any better? I wish I had the money to hire him as my driver!
We are truly living in perilous times. Why was this man fired??????!? He defended himself. We could be reading his obituary now . Thank God he is alive. No job is worth living losing your life this way.
You typed a pageful of good sense.
Because you probably can't carry on the job. Most likely against company policy
@@HarryHafsak Yep, as stated in the (lengthy) description.
@@HarryHafsak Company policy doesn’t matter if you’re dead.
So that the anti gunners wont get their feelings hurt.
This bus driver is a straight badass… mag dumps while driving the bus and doesn’t wreck it! Give that man an award not punishment
Lmfao I was just telling my other coworkers this. Dude has a fire fight and doesn’t even crash he even manage to bring the bus safely to a halt eventhough it went up the curb
GANSTA
@@TheMrDariusHe also secured his Bus and got off with his Gun in his Hand. That other Dude picked the right Bus and Driver on the wrong Day.
and slowly parked it lmao
Thats just it emptied his mag. Even after the guy got off the bus. At that point he was no longer ger a threat he will be lucky if they don't prosecute him for aggravated asdault. One should know your laws. He panicked and if your going to protect yourself you don't get to shoot as they are running away.
Give this man a key to the city don’t punish his success at defending himself
Give that bus driver a Medal of Freedom and a hefty raise in pay!!
Dude's awareness was on point. Turned around saw guy had his gun clearly out, felt his life was in danger, sought the oppurtunity and decided to defend himself within miliseconds.
U mean millimeters
in a World were he knows his own race are junkies too, is this normal

I stand with the bus driver. Hard working Americans just trying to work and do the right things and we’re dealing with all this lawlessness and criminals being rewarded for it and it’s beyond tiresome and scary and more Americans who abide by the law are going to stand up for themselves like this driver did💪🏼🫶🏼👍🏼

Bus driver getting fired for this is exactly why these buses get robbed like that!
That bus driver deserves a medal
This driver performed outstandingly. He saved the lives of his passengers. Apart from the award, the city should recognize his bravery and be promoted
The perps were only 2 on the bus.
Yes, that bus operator also needed to protect himself. He was in control of his bus, and rightly so, as the man in charge.
There was only one other person on the bus
You're stupid..!
He literally almost murdered big dude in the front seat.
@@zach6634 Thank you for your additional update. But to whom you are referring to that shot those 2 stray bullets at the rear of the bus, the operator or the thug?
Hope the bus driver makes a full recovery and is granted an award for his bravery
He got fired for violating the company's no-weapons policy and could possibly face federal charges for having a firearm in a commercial motor vehicle
@@yannisgouras4482at least he saved some lives
@@yannisgouras4482 hopefully the da has a heart
@@supfor8410 bus waa empty ? What lives?
He got fired!
I can't believe how that bystander just disappeared and made it out like a chubby Ninja
Dude lost his job, but earned his man card.
This dude needs a promotion, not only did he deal with the threat but actually still drove the bus untill he could safely stop
He got fired lol. Against policy to have a weapon on the bus. Despite the fact he clearly needed it.
Good analogy for gun control.
Maybe he's happy driving a bus, sure beats sitting in an office. Least he gets to bust caps, breaks up the day!
I think you should find the full video
Exactly, I'm wondering if he's had military training because he was so calm and in control
The bus careened onto the sidewalk, potentially putting pedestrians at risk so what video were you watching??
I'd rather lose my job than my life. Good job, driver
Thanks driver
Goodbye driver
The guy said "you going to shoot me to?" the bus driver like you just shot me duh
I wish I owned a company just so I could give him a new job! Controlling that bus while in a life or death shootout is amazing
I was a bus operator for 2 and a half years. The way he was able to control a commercial vehicle. And be involved in a shootout. Is beyond me. That isn't easy to do. Very difficult on so many levels. I hope the driver is doing well. After this incident.
He was a super pro at doing it too.. Taking the bad guy down was epic.
@@thomasgriffin8269 what you mean taking the bad guy down he ran away
Sadly he got fired which is yet another reason we need to update our labor laws in America. You have every right to carry a gun and defend yourself with said gun and if a company fired you for protecting yourself that company needs to be liable and charged for malicious termination and sued until they go bankrupt
I hope the bus is ok as well.
You are just a bad driver. he ran off the road. could have killed 30 kids while driving on the sidewalk... bullets fly long ways away.. He could have just gave the man all the precious 45 dollars he had in the buss and avoid a shootout. but hey in murica you are free to murder people. here in europe you would go to prison for shooting someone like that. and you would get extra 5 years for shooting him in the back on outside of the buss... its a miracle nobody else caught a stay bullet.
Full solidarity with the driver.
FULL
Bullet proof window in a bus !! what kind of a $hithole of a country we live in 😢
Welcome to new Haiti
Every busdriver for that company should look for a better job.
Too much violence in the U.S. I have never seen this anywhere else in the world and I’ve travelled a bit.
First: What a sad and pathetic world that this would happen
Second: Impressive response time on behalf of the bus driver. He looked military trained
That bus operator was urban-ready for anything to happen. He was prepared and not unprepared.
That was a very clean and fast draw. Probably just 1 frame on camera.
Only in the US. SMH
And he shot first.... Risking EVERYBODY'S LIVES..!
When the scumbag was trying to get off the bus.
@@ceerstar851.... It's a lunatics country.... Did you who fired first..??
Can’t even work without being threatened, what a world.
not worth working in public now:
''A D.C. restaurant worker is seriously hurt after a customer pulled out a gun and shot him multiple times after a dispute at a business on H Street NE, authorities say.
The shooting victim was in critical condition after the gunfire around lunchtime Tuesday, police said.
A man walked into Tony’s Place, a carryout at 14th and H streets NE at about 12:45 p.m., and got into some type of argument with the employee, Cmdr. Kevin Kentish said. He pulled out a gun and shot the worker several times''
Nono buddy, that's just America
Only in America 😂
Just like their schools, this situation definitely needs more guns. They should have armed guards on all the buses. And probably build sniper towers in all bus stops.
Its not the world its MURICA
This guy wont have trouble finding a job underground as security 😂 modern day Jason Bourne
Its kinda funny to me how dude in the hoody was such a tough guy until the person he was tryin to intimidate fired back. Then he's in such a rush he's climbing over the girl in the back, knocking her out the bus...
Driver most likely will be terminated for breaking a company policy. Better to lose the Job then your Life. 🚌 Way to go Driver !
If the other people were just innocent bystanders then that bus driver deserves to never own a firearm again and should be fired. Passenger commercial drivers license taken away
@Olórin shut up
Yes way to go driver. I'm sure the girl running for her life appreciate him firing in her direction after he decided to leave the bus and keep shooting.
@@olorin1710 nooo LOGIC BRO
@@raunchhall3215 video shows shooter not engaging what so ever with passenger. only pointed gun in direction of driver. When bus comes to stop shooter and driver get out. Shooter crawls and walks over passenger. Never seeming in threatening way. Seem like shooter's target was bus driver. Not hostage nor retaliatory situation with passenger. It is fine for you to say what if? and create other scenarios. Personally I wouldn't be so willing embrace martyrdom for this petty situation.
This was really fantastic. The driver should be given a medal and promoted to teach other drivers to defend themselves like this.
Unfortunately he was fired. This happen in the Charlotte NC
Why do people say they deserve a medal? For what? lmao

@@sidewalkid You love wet dreaming about democrats right?
@@sidewalkidsooooo we’re blaming Democrats for deviant behavior? How does any Democrat have anything to do with someone so unhinged that they start shooting when they can’t get what they want?
We have The Transporter, The Mechanic, now The Busdriver
And he did well in shooting afterwards too. The guy had no intention of leaving. Even after almost dying, he stuck around waiting for the opportunity to kill the driver.
Thank GOD no one else was on that bus, and the driver was safe.
Having no weapons on your person is a terrible company policy in this day and age. Your drivers should not only be able to protect themselves, but also passengers
That passenger was counting on the driver following policy. Im glad he didn't.
Yes, but not just "any" employee should be allowed to use a gun, I know a lot of fellow gun owners that I wouldn't want to be anywhere near should they need to defend themselves, as I am sure just about everything but the threat will have holes in it, including me. 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.
Fortunately we don't have guns in the UK except for some police, the army and some farmers. I'm very glad that people can't fire hot metal into each other.
wtf?? So what jobs would NOT require a gun in your world?
Teachers with guns, Bus drivers with guns, I guess even pizza delivery couriers should have guns right?
What a mad world.
Imagine having to train every bus driver how to use a gun because the nation is so unsafe and not realizing something is very wrong with that.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 Somethign is very wrong with the nation being unsafe, but since we do have so many guns out and about, people do need to be able to defend against those guns, if they chose to do so, with proper training. Until the crime rate drops down. Not saying Bus Drivers and stuff in every city should be armed, but in certain cities where gun violence is high, Chicago, Houston, etc, then yeah. Now, teachers, are a different story, they should be able to take the training to use a firearm, and keep it locked nearby, just due to the insane rise in school shootings.
The driver must have been working for the sanitation because he took out the garbage so quickly and effectively. Dude, you’re awesome
Bruh got me laughing so hard
What chu mean?? The garbage just blew away towards someone else's yard. 😅
That driver is a true hero!!!
JUSTICE IS RIGHTLY SERVED
The man can multitask quite well 😂
right hand working that trigger, left hand working that wheel keeping the bus from crashing. He did a damn good job🤣🤣
@@infinity3jif better look again. He was up on the sidewalk, nearly took out a bus stop, was off road as soon as he started blasting. Lucky no one was standing there.
@@pmczapczara5332 I saw that, but my point is he didn't crash the bus.
@@infinity3jif I'm all for being allowed to defend yourself. This video is highly edited for sound, and skips some time.
However if you look at the 10 second mark, the driver flashes his gun.
He, and this city better get ready to be heavily sued. Dumb, just dumb.
And this litte edited snippet is all were allowed to see, but once again, it proves there's usually much more to the story than the tidbits they release.
With the gun, the #1 thing, and the hardest thing, is to keep your head, and do the SMARTEST thing.
He did not, and is not without blame.
He's lucky he didn't kill anyone on the sidewalk or wreck the bus.
Fortunately for him he didn't, but he's still got problems.
Bet he’s played a lot of GTA lol
Good for the bus driver for protecting himself. I'm tired of seeing innocent people becoming victims when they are just doing their jobs. That bus driver will be reprimanded and fired and I'm sure he doesn't get paid enough to deal with those type of crazy people. Someone start a gofund me for him so that he can give that dangerous job up and recover from his gun wound.
Get a Lawyer and sue away the blues.
At least he's alive. You can always get another job. Or better yet, start your own business and reduce the risk of this happening. The driver must have had spidey senses to know that was about to happen. It might be time to put the drivers in a bullet proof bubble.
Start one please

@@cannabisclouds he’s talking about a gofund
Bus driver simply defended himself.

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.

That bus driver was correct! He knew the assignment. He should be a cop
Bus Driver handled situation even better than law enforcement. Didn't even flinch shooting away that little b*tch WHILE DRIVING A FREAKING BUS!
And then walked out, chased him and scared him off like a real/respectable gangster. The b*tch ran away with his tail in between his legs as he knew he got owned.
The bus driver needs to be promoted to police commissioner. Hats off to you sir from Australia!
That's an A+ bus driver, hope he keeps his job. The policy should allow bus drivers to carry. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Got fired
@@user-sp2qn4hx5v That's not right, they are asking these people to go dangerous neighborhoods picking and dropping off sketchy people all day and they can't protect themselves.

@@gabrielgalaxygh that's gotta change. people have to arm themselves, even if the rules says no.
He was fired
He was fired which is so wrong
Maybe a raise and the healthcare part, I'm not sure defending his life warrants a medal and a key to the city, considering it was just him and maybe one more passenger.
But for 100% certainty what I can say is he deserved his job and he didn't deserved to get fired for what he did! America is really going to hell with all the Anti-Gun Nuts, that just because you used a gun regardless if it was justified or not, the Justice System has to do everything to destroy your life!
I’m a public transportation operator of 23 years and just when I thought I’d seen everything…I have to take my hat off to the operator (despite the no firearms policy in the workplace) for being ready for this unprecedented situation!
@dawnking7717Keep dreaming
Shame on that man demanding to deboard at a non bus stop area and then try to shoot the bus operator. They are really out of the right heads.

The driver has been waiting all his life for this. After all those training😂
This is an excellent post in its thoroughness.
Was The driver protecting the passengers ?
The driver appeared to be well disciplined and trained and handled the threat professionally. We need more competent citizens like him!
Except for the fact he fired into the back of the bus, while there were others huddling with the perp. Easily could've killed a civilian.
@@xBlacklove yup
No...he's not at all well trained. He fired all rounds single-handed. I think his reaction skills were exceptional though.
Opened fire outside the bus into the general direction of potentially anyone nearby. Failed gun safety 101 = think before shooting, this definitely applies once the immediate threat is lessened.
If you think I'm "too much" wait till you see wtf a lawyer can do to you in a court room counting down a scene by the second.
If in your self defense your round ends a childs life nearby guess what, game over for you.
I understand the driver was afraid for his life, but, he blasted away indiscriminately. The
Bus had other passengers abroad and not only that, he popped a few more off outside the bus.
He should have just handed the money over if he was about to be robbed. Instead of putting innocent members of the public in danger. Its not the wild west.
It’s against company policy to have a fire arm….but it’s a damn good thing he had one.

That bus driver has the nerves of steel... He didn't hesitate whatsoever, he knew exactly what he had to do all the while he was driving, God bless you brother, that is certainly amazing, my heart goes out to you in the conditions of your Job, 🙏 sincerely Eric
That's probably because it's not the first time he was faced by the same situation.
@V.P.N..... what??? the bulletproof glass he literally just shot through?????
it really doesn't take nerves of steel to stand up for your own life, especially when u are armed...literally everyone wants to live... where is all this d riding and hero posturing coming from when he was literally just defending himself? Something needs to be seriously wrong with you if you choose not to shoot someone shouting at you and walking aggressively towards you with guns in each hand
@@SuryaGupta-te7fq It's easy to say after the fact and from afar but when you are face to face to someone who wants to and can take your life, it takes a brave man to not panic and stand his ground. That driver IS BRAVE!
@@Nat_RyderEveryone is John Wick and an MMA fighter in the comments section, man. 😏😶
Driver should file a lawsuit against CATS for creating an unsafe work environment.
the company that fired the driver is even more guilty than the assailant
This shows why weapons should be allowed to be carried by operators of these vehicles. If he hadn't been armed we probably would be watching a video of a bus driver being murdered by a thug. You should give this man a raise, and his job back.
I got fired from my cab company for doing the same way back when during a robbery attempt...I don't expect bus drivers to bite a bullet for thier jobs, either...got no prob with what he did. Self-defense isn't something you can only do at home, and it's time for all Bus drivers, Taxi drviers, etc to be allowed to do so on the job.
I feel you bro im a truck driver and lost 2 jobs because I have a gun america don't understand criminals don't obey laws that why we needs to carry a gun on us no matter were we work because if stuff like this as you see that sigh say no gins on the bus criminals look at that sigh as a green light to commit crimes
Wow, that's messed up. Workers should have the right to protect themselves.
100% 👏
Bus drivers maybe but not taxi drivers most of them are scumbags
Uber driver here. I'd rather lose my job than my life so honestly could care less what Uber's policy is as it doesn't supercede my rights as an American citizen to be able to defend myself.
Didn't even wreck the bus! Well done.
I found this just as interesting as the video in Africa of the defensive driver thwarting am bush!
Other than the bullet holes...
Adds character.
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.
Those were some damn fast reactions and some damn fine bus crawling.
That was clearly a man on a mission to finish the bus driver, thank God he was able to defend himself
Well done sir. Situational awareness was on point. You should be rewarded for your efforts to keep the area safe from thugs.
Correct with situational awareness. But I bet his effort was in no way to keep the area safe, but rather his own.
@MajinBroly the man has the right to defend himself. You may have great control of your pistol at the shooting range. now try driving a bus and hitting a target that is moving
@@majinbroly7886His rounds were on target.
On point? There was zero situational awareness when he's shooting at someone huddled in with innocent passengers.
He had Every right to defend himself, but don't sit here and suck his dick when he had zero regard for those people
Give this man a medal …and every employee that work for that company should see how they treated him basically saying we don’t care about your lives
How incredible!
Driver was fired and charged with 3 counts of attempted murder for each passenger on the bus.
Passenger got quite the surprise huh 😂 good on that bus driver! Lose your job rather than your life 💯
Someone on the bus stop hit the ground too. That was reckless shooting in the direction of a passenger and a person at a bus stop. They both need to be in jail.
@@firstlast9292 your an idiot.
@firstlast9292 I agree that was some wreckless shooting tho
Bad on bus driver for willing shooting at innocent bystanders.
@@firstlast9292 when some1 points a gun at you, remember your own words 👍
Great job. Give that man a raise, a bonus, and the executive parking spot for the duration of his employment.
They fired him... What a shame
The Driver is an Honest Worker , earning the daily Bread for his Family .
His response was amazing .
He is a Hero !
yep but he was fired for having a gun that's how the world thanks people like him
Well glad that guy was able to defend himself, fuc that stupid policy.
I can’t believe they fired him! Nobody should be working for that company after this.
As much as people are saying he has the right to defend himself, he did just blindly pointed and blasted behind him with an innocent man just sitting there cld of easily been shot or killed
Awesome job driver! Hire that man as a body guard, security guard or police officer. Tired of the thugs.
