Suspects questioned after gunfire threatens students at bus stop

At least one gunman opened fire this morning at a Chattanooga school bus stop where elementary, middle and high school students were waiting for the bus.

The kids ran for cover behind nearby houses and dove into porches. No one was hit during the drive-by, which happened across from the Bethlehem Center at 225 W. 38th Street.

The gang-related incident happened around 8:20 a.m., according to police.

“I saw one little boy’s legs dangling off someone’s porch,” said Latoya Hunt, who was across the street when the shooting started. “He was trying to hop over it. He was scared…he was just dangling.”
