A school bus driver in upstate New York, David Ferry, was arrested and fired after purchasing a rifle while on duty, driving with 12 students aboard. The investigation began when reports indicated that Ferry left a gun shop with a .22 caliber rifle. Though the gun was unloaded and officials did not believe there was any intention of mass violence, the Naples Central School District acted decisively to terminate his employment due to the severity of the situation. Ferry is scheduled to appear in court on February 18.
Ferry was seen driving the bus away from a gun shop after purchasing a rifle, leading to an investigation by the Ontario County Sheriff's Office.
Police stated that there was no indication that Ferry intended to use the rifle for school-related violence, as it was not loaded.
