If at the time the crazed terrorist looked at him and stepped on the gas, the bus driver could have pulled off a few shots. One of them may have disabled the terrorist. I know it is very difficult for a bus driver to react in such a short time but isn`t it worth an investigation to see if that would be a possibility? Of course, there would have to be a salary increase as well but wouldn`t that be worth it? And bus drivers are always in the public. If a bus driver sees a situation he could use his firearm in that as well. They needn`t be police but quite assistance saves lives.
