Oxford bus driver tracks down man accused of threatening students with gun

Oxford bus driver tracks down man accused of threatening students with gun: "Last week, around 15 Oxford city school students were terrorized by a man pointing a gun at their school bus.

If it wasn't for the quick response from the school bus driver the situation may have been worse.

During his nine years of driving a school bus, Russell Boles says he has never seen anything like this.

Boles was on his regular route when he got to the bus stop off County Road 181.

That's when he noticed a young man standing around. Boles said the man started to yell at some of the kids on the bus.

And then, Boles says the man reached around his back and pulled out a gun, 'he pointed it up at the windows then turned around and pointed it down at the bus. Then turned back. By that time the kids that was in the windows started running away from the windows and that's when I started telling the smaller kids to get away from the windows and get down.'"
