A school bus with dozens of students on board was hit by gunfire during a gun battle and police chase that spanned a large part of New Castle County, Delaware on Friday.
It all began when officers responded to the area of Route 141 and East Market Street around 7:30 a.m. for a report of a suspicious person with a gun.
"As soon as she realized something did occur she fled the scene and brought the students right to school," said Superintendent Joseph Jones. "The students seemed okay; a couple of them did go home," said Jones. "We will follow up with them but their response is seemingly okay."Giancarlo Weems says his friend was on the bus and arrived at school a bit shaken up.
