A North Carolina bus driver and passenger suffered gunshot wounds during a shootout on the bus that ensued after the passenger requested a 'not-assigned bus stop.'
"We believe that the situation could have been de-escalated because the bus operators are trained on de-escalation," Hunter told Fox News Digital."And so just because the operator wasn't at a bus stop, he could de-escalate it by letting the gentleman off the bus if he could have pulled the bus over safely to let him off."Hunter also noted that while this was a"tragic incident," situations such as these do not occur on a regular basis.
"We will not be able to solve this problem on our own," Brent Cagle, interim CEO of CATS, said in a press release."However, CATS is committed to doing what we can to address this with our partners at CMPD, and our partners at RATP Dev who employ and manage our bus operators."Haley Chi-Sing is a Fox News Digital production assistant.
