A reporter asked if it was true that the child had been removed from his school bus this morning. Which is why the Aunt was taking him to school, or so asked the reporter.
This sounds like a rumor to me. The shot was fired at a little after 8 am. If a kid is removed from a school bus, why so soon after he boarded? Because it would have to have been soon after he boarded. School buses don't just let unruly kids off in the middle of nowhere.
And if the implication is that the alleged disturbance somehow caused someone to shoot the kid, damn, how quick can someone get a gun, hide in the woods, and take such accurate aim so quickly. Without any clue as to where the kid would be dropped off or when?
