A bullet struck a Juneau school bus Wednesday with two students aboard, according to a news release from Juneau Police Department.
The bus was on Riverside Drive. The driver and an aide were also aboard, the release said.
The bus driver told police a window of the bus shattered and two men in their 20s ran out of a house in the 9200 block of Sharon Street. One of the men was a 21-year-old from Juneau, who police say fired the round from a Glock 9mm handgun through the front door of the home that struck the bus and lodged in the window frame.
It appears the man did not believe the handgun was loaded at the time, the report said.
A class B misdemeanor charge of shooting a firearm within a quarter mile of a roadway has been forwarded to the City Attorney’s office.
No charges have been filed as of Thursday afternoon. The name of the man has not been released.
