The California Highway Patrol has resorted to using decoy buses to catch the culprit behind a string of BB gun shootings at charter buses carrying Apple and Google employees.

The news was first reported by ABC7.

CHP officer John Fransen told Business Insider the department will be using decoy buses to draw fire from the shooter. Since January, there have at least been 20 shootings at charter buses in the Bay Area, including five used by Apple and Google employees who commute. The FBI is also helping with the case, Fransen said.

The shooter used a pellet gun, which fires metal balls, better known as "BBs."

That seems so violent. It seems the LEO needs to catch this uniperson and put them into yoga therapy and transgender therapy. That’s the ticket.

I can't figure out why anyone with a pellet gun would want to shoot little round metal balls known as "BBs". I hope CNN gets a hold of their General to clarify for us if these pellet guns are only semiautomatic or can fire FULL semiautomatic also.

“The shooter used a pellet gun, which fires metal balls, better known as “BBs.”

That’s the kind of nonsense you get when you assign an ignoramus to write an article.

The author must be 10 years old if she thinks the readers need to be told what BBs are.

Another idiot “journalist”.

Sadly, there are many who don’t know the difference between a B.B. and a pellet. Like the writer.

And the sheriff’s target bus has 105mm guns hidden behind drop down panels on the sides - a Q-bus!

Do they know yet if the gun is a fully automatic semi-automatic?

I grew up in Boston——in the 30s-40s.

A boy down the street had a BB gun which he occasionally liked to shoot at kids walking by the house.

No one made a fuss- No cops were called,no lawyers,no newspapers,nothing.

People tolerated eachother and we all grew up just fine.

Don’t worry; I don’t think there’s anything on Earth that could cause them to mend their wicked ways.

Did the BB gun look like an AR 15, 16 or 17?

So they are announcing their game plan as a deterrent, instead of actually trying to catch the perp?
“Yeah dude, we'll be on the 7:30 decoy bus in the AM!”

And the reporterette has to put “BBs” in quotes, I guess she learned a new word. Good grief.

Someone is shooting at busses with Big Butts (BB’s) Should narrow down the search.

Announcing you're going to be using decoys is always effective. . .

I’d bet anything that the shooter is leftist/Antifa false flagging it.

The fake busses are probably “politically correctly” labeled as decoys to avoid entrapment.
