Father Threatens Bus Aide With Gun

A man in Springfield, Massachusetts appeared in court Tuesday after reportedly threatening a school bus aide with a gun, reported Mass Live. 

According to a taped interview with the monitor, two of the man’s children were acting up on the bus and ignored his multiple requests to stop. Police eventually removed the students from the bus, but their sister called their father, who then met up with the bus.

He then reportedly attempted to force his way onto the bus by banging on the door while yelling that he was going to cut the monitor’s head off and displayed a gun.
