I understand them not identifying the bus driver (whether he turns out to be a witness or the victim), but the family may already know. I can readily see that it is bus No. 5--it's painted on top.

Lots of people don't watch television. They don't want to identify someone whose family would be overwhelmed by media before the police could talk to them.

Also, if I remember correctly, we do NOT know the identities of the survivors...only their race, sex, and age.

By now, I hope they've had time to notify at least some of the victim's family. But some family members may not know. They also don't release the names of the shooting victims who have survived, and so far, he's surviving. My prayers are with him and his family.

Me Too... As I see more of the scene, it would have been a diabolically good target, if it was. Those drivers usually just sit there with the door open, the lights turned up, and the sniper could have been lying back in the tree line, shooting slightly up into the Bus.
