GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — One person is dead after police said a gunman hijacked a bus from downtown Atlanta with 17 people on board while holding a gun to the bus driver’s head.
The incident started at 45 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard around 4:30 p.m. Atlanta police said they responded to initial reports of a gunman on the bus that was holding hostages and that there had possibly been a discharge of a weapon. The call then immediately dropped.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Scheirbaum said that 911 then got a second call from a family member of a person on the bus who had been texting with them saying the bus had been hijacked and that people onboard were being held hostage.
A short time later, 911 received a third call from the bus and that line remained open for the entire time.

Why?? Kids, maybe?
15 minute city breakout?
Was it them again, Yogi?
“It was Callahan!”
One male “victim”?
Was it the hijacker?
Poorly written, as usual.
If it started on Ivan Allen Blvd, 99% the answer is yes.
Perp had 19 priors, was a convicted felon, and still had a gun.
Common sense gun laws work, eh?
“Chief Schierbaum identified the gunman as Joseph Grier, 39, of Stone Mountain. He said Greer had been arrested 19 times previously and was a convicted felon.”
I believe so.
“Was Sandra Bullock driving?”
LOL! I’d forgotten about that cheesy movie. Round and round in circles we go!
BTW, given the news we see daily, does anyone actually believe that violent crime in the U.S. is going down? Or, is it that criminals are not being arrested, if arrested charges are dropped, or if charged the plea deals reduce the crime to a traffic violation? And then on top of that many large cities are not reporting their crime stats to the FBI.
Because from what I see, crime is increasing daily and a lot of it is violent deadly crimes. Plus, so many of those deadly violent crimes are being committed by illegal aliens.
You can’t page BooBoo and Yogi. Some Freepers think it is rassist and infantile.
How did I know? It’s like magic!
That’s a big feller.

“Suspect in Gwinnett Co. bus hijacking faces more than 2 dozen charges, including murder”
The media is constantly telling us that crime is down. Is that what you are witnessing in your state?

Oh, heck no. They're lying. It's only gonna get worse with all of the illegals pouring across the border. If they're willing to break the law and invade another country...property rights (and another's life) will mean zero to them.
