Footage shows bus shootout between driver and passenger in North Carolina
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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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!

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.

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.
That was clearly a man on a mission to finish the bus driver, thank God he was able to defend himself
