The bus driver said it looked like there was a "domestic conflict" happening outside the bus, according to the district. He then drove the mother and the remaining students to a different location.
Law enforcement showed up when the bus got to its last stop. At that time, the mother told officers she had a gun in a locked case. The weapon stayed in the case throughout the time she was on the bus.
The school district said the bus company, Dousman Transport, has a policy against "unauthorized riders." MASD Superintendent Joe Koch said the bus driver has been "through the disciplinary process."
