Chesterfield school bus driver calls police after woman waves gun outside home
Chesterfield Police were called to the Deerwood neighborhood Thursday by a bus driver who didn't want kids to get off, after she saw a woman come outside a home with a gun.
Police then surrounded bus 645 in a cul-de-sac on Mapleridge Court.

Police say after further investigation, they determined it was a BB gun, so the woman was not charged.
"Especially when it involves kids,” said parent Michael Gammell. “You want to see the reaction and response."
"Sometimes you can't be too sure out here,” Gammell said. “What if it wasn't a BB gun and she tripped and fell and a shot went off? Someone could've been hit... Overkill [in a response] isn't always bad."
