Tuesday morning began just like any other morning for football star Kaleb Eulls.
Eulls and his three younger sisters were among 22 passengers on a school bus bound for Yazoo County High School in western Mississippi until a 14-year old female student boarded the bus armed with a .380 semi-automatic handgun threatening to shoot and ordering the bus driver to pull over.
Eulls got the gunman to focus on him while the rest of the passengers evacuated. When she looked away for a moment he jumped her and took the gun away.
The female assailant was arrested on 22 counts of attempted aggravated assault, 22 counts of kidnapping and one count of possession of a firearm on school property. She was taken to the county juvenile detention facility.
She must have missed the “no guns” signs.

[...] school student, unarmed, saves a bus full of his peers in Mississippi from a girl who boards the bus wielding a .380 caliber …. This is the exact kind of behavior the powers that be discourage, but quick thinking and quick [...]

Thank God no one was shot/harmed/killed. Could have happened too easily. Just a little pull of the trigger, a minor muscle twitch. . .
And multi-kudos to Kaleb Eulls. Such bravery and quick thinking. I hope he goes far and high in whatever career he chooses. We need more like him in the up & coming generation. That is, if the school system doesn’t beat him down.
And if any prosecutor REALLY wanted to go for the gusto, in addition to all the kidnapping charges, there’s all the Federal statutes about posession of a pistol by a minor. That should be good for a few more years.
That is, depending on the political leanings of the prosecutor & judge.

That’s just because dudes named “Caleb”, regardless of spelling are fucking badasses.
