Transcript
We’re hearing from the CEO, the interim CEO of Kansas, a Charlotte area transit system, who says that the driver and this passenger, they were arguing because a passenger wanted to be let off of the bus in an area that is not approved as a staff. So the driver said
You’re going to have to wait until the next stop. Well, that is when the suspect he has Omari Tobias pulled out a gun. The driver, David Fuller, sees the gun, pulls out, has his own gun. And then a shootout happens. It’s not clear who made that first shot.
We’re going to show you this video. But first, a warning. It is graphic Yes, right. Is shocking rain quite unexpected and quick. A flurry of bullets just flying around. So fuller, the bus driver who stops a bus. Two other passengers that are bystanders in the bus,
They move to the back of the bus and you see the suspect there on the ground. Crawling toward an exit. The bus driver then fires another round at the suspect and eventually that suspect and a bystander, they exit from the bus and the driver follows them and shoots
Them, shoots the suspect, tries to again. Now, both of them were shot. The driver and the suspect the driver shot in the arm, the suspect in the abdomen. They were taken to a hospital on stable condition. The bystanders, they were not hurt

Life is full of choices.
A) Let passenger out.
B) Get shot, lose your job…
Then let the passenger out.
The driver is a hypocrite! He says it's against policy to stop in between stops, but he goes against policy and brings a weapon to work! The driver fired his gun wildly into the direction of other passengers without aiming! It's a miracle the driver didn't hit another passenger. He even got off the bus and pursued the guy when he was no longer a threat. Driver should be charged with recklessly endangering the public. 👀🙄😳
The following ups shots by driver was unnecessary he short at the direction of passengers that’s dangerous 😊
That's messed up that the bus driver lost his job for protecting his life from a dusty dude.
HERE ME LOUD AND CLEAR. The bus driver best NOT face any charges, NADA, Nothing, Zip! IF he is charged I will personally call for a gun rally in Charlotte that will shake the very foundation of that crime ridden city.
Justice
Bus driver fired first
Thank God the bus driver wasn't white or it would be called a hate crime by CNN
bus driver got fired that some BS. SCREW THAT BUS COMPANY.
Bus driver defends himself. Time to lose your job, possible criminal charges and be sued. Just having a job and having to deal with ignorant people daily .👍
America is completely INSANE !
All those shots and only 2 bullet hits
That’s so sad the bus driver has to carry weapon during working
Not only is he in a fight for his life, but he's also fighting to keep his pants up. Wow, the stupidity
Who are the f-tards that think THIS is not self defense? FIRE ALL OF THEM with extreme prejudice. Reinstate this driver immediately. WHAT in the hell is going on in the world???????????????
Concealed carry owners win again. Great job bus driver.
America has gone CRAZY!
Self defense. And he's still alive, thank GOD. Those driver's are out there alone. The police can only respond after an incident has occurred.
murica
He was going to graduate next week and move on to medical school. He didn’t no nuthin wrong!
I would have done the same thing! It's me or you and you going down!!!!
Only in America.
They always punish the good guy. Love that driver
Bruh, I'm not allowed to carry when I drive a bus.. I drove in the state of WA & CO.. now in OR, can I carry?? Cuz it's sketchy out here..
If you use a gun in a crime it should be the death penalty period no questions asked
It's always crazy a shootout both mag dump and hit once. Thank God criminal are awful with their only tool
I think it's quite clear who made that first shot.
Guns aren't going anywhere.
