A school bus driver was fatally stabbed in front of students after picking them up from a Washington state elementary school Friday afternoon, authorities said.

The alleged killer, who is now in custody, got on the bus near Longfellow Elementary in the city of Pasco around 3 p.m. and launched the knife attack as multiple children watched in horror, according to police. The victim lost control of the vehicle and crashed it near the school building, police said.

The unidentified driver was pronounced dead a hospital. No children were physically injured in the attack or crash.

The suspect’s name has not been released, but police said he was still at the scene when they arrived and was taken into custody without further incident.

More information is expected to be released Monday, said Pasco Police Capt. Bill Parramore.

“Pasco police detectives will be processing the crime scene throughout the night,” he told reporters in a prepared statement. “The Pasco Police Department will work in close partnership with the Pasco School District through this investigation.”

Pasco School District Superintendent Michelle Whitney said counselors would be available over the weekend and next week to meet with students who were on the bus and any staff affected by the incident.

We’ve had a couple antifa visit from Portland (literally: a couple), a few Muslims who tend to be engineers and scientists at Hanford or doctors and PAs, basically no BLM except for a small number of white people who put BLM stickers on their cars but uninvolved otherwise and not that many homeless on this side of the state. But I’m sure it was the latter.

A scary possibility/connection!

Good idea. The article is uninformative that it could have been a student and that is why he was let on the bus.

Why would a school bus driver let a non student on the bus?

[Mr. Blond]

Student?

Pasco. Hispanic population.

My bet is homey vs homey.

So a hood from the hood wearing a hood. And running shoes. With some facial hair. Athletic build with big arm muscles. He's gonna be caught within an hour.

That was brutal. Right down the road a few miles from where I lived at the time. It inspired a lot of fear in the community.

Every parent with kids who rode school buses was totally scared after that terrible event.

The driver let the perp on the bus.

Whether that was under duress or not remains with the bulk of information they’re withholding.

He died at the hospital. I guess the police had a chance to talk to him before.
