🚌 Bullets and Bus Stops: CMS Shooting Updates Uncovered

🚌 Bullets, Turf Wars, and Arrest Warrants: The CMS Bus Shooting Saga

Regarding drama in Charlotte, reality often outpaces fiction, and this week’s school bus shooting is a grim reminder. On Monday, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) bus carrying 33 students became collateral in a neighborhood shootout that could’ve ended in catastrophe. Miraculously, only glass shards, not bullets, met their mark—two students were treated for minor injuries.

CMPD wasted no time, arresting Jaheim Boone, 23, and Joshua Woods, 21, both already seasoned visitors to the justice system. These arrests add to the tally of four men accused in the incident. The alleged cause? A drug turf dispute that spiraled into a gunfight.

Boone faces an exhaustive list of charges, including nine counts of shooting into a moving vehicle (yes, nine). Woods, meanwhile, appears to have a taste for multitasking—balancing past charges involving apartment shootouts with new ones stemming from Monday’s chaos. At this rate, he’s probably earning frequent flyer miles at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse.

Court documents paint a chaotic scene with bullets flying from a Glock 45 and a .223-caliber rifle. A leaked bus video—part panic, part heroic Santa-hat-wearing driver—shows terrified students crouching and shielding each other. These kids are more challenging than half of us on a Monday morning.
