This is this is really bizarre.
Yeah, very. A third teenager
appeared in front of the judge today,
charged in that attempted school bus murder.
You can see it all going
down in this video here,
and the details are just really upsetting.
These three boys appeared wearing masks
and hoodies pulled over their h.
They got into a school bus in Oxon Hill.
They pushed right on by the dri,
went up to a middle schooler,
put the gun to his chest,
and pulled the trigger three ti.
Thankfully,
nothing happened because the gun jammed.
The teenage girl who was in court today,
however, was not in these photo.
But prosecutors say that doesn't
mean she isn't just as guilty.
And wait until you hear what's .
Scott Broome was in the courtroom today.
He joins us now live. And Scott,
you really got the sense from
prosecutors today just how young
these teens were potentially anw
dangerous this could have been.,
generally here, the majority ofe
kids involved are 8. The grader.
And this is very, very dangerou.
Now, normally hearings involving
juveniles are not open to the public,
but in this shocking case of
attempted murder by children,
the young teens are charged as adults.
So with this surprise arrest
over the weekend of a girl we
were all completely unaware of,
there is yet another hearing
today that was open to the publ.
And what we're learning again is chilling.
It was a hit squad style attack
on a Prince George's County
school bus caught on video.
A boy with a gun tries to shoot
and kill a 14 year old while two
accomplices hold the victim dow.
Had the gun not jammed repeated,
the victim would surely have di,
investigators have said in cour.
And today in a Prince
George's County courtroom,
we learned the attack was allegy
orchestrated by an eighth grade
girl who's accused of texting te
attackers before they rushed the
bus to let them know the victim
was seated and the last rider l.
The 14 year old girl was arrestd
over the weekend and charged as
an adult with attempted murder.
Tense bailiffs in the courtroom watched
to keep family members separate.
The suspects family begged for
the girl to be released into
home detention before trial.
But arguments by attorneys reved
there are allegations of gang ts
and the victim's mother begged e
judge not to let the girl go ho,
saying her family and the school
bus driver would be terrorized,
that the girl could orchestrate
another attack.
She planned this out and she sa.
Up to a tee,
the victim's mother said.
Judge Byron Bariano ordered thel
held without bail in a juvenile facility,
saying that home detention may keep her
off the streets but would not prevent
her from planning more deadly mayhem.
Prosecutor Aisha Brayboy reflecd
on how dangerous the suspects ae
alleged to be despite their young age.
But we hear parents say,
you know, my child's a good chi.
You know that they they weren't involved.
I can't believe it, but believe.
It happens. Unfortunately,
far too often in our communitie,
young people are making adult decisions
that have adult consequences.
My office has no choice
but to pursue justice,
and that's what we're going to .
All right, Here at WUSA Nine,
we are not naming any of the kids involved
because they still have juvenile status.
In total, we now have two boys.
And a girl who are in detention,
accused of attempted murder in this case.
But the key suspect you've seen again
and again in that video, the boy with
the gun is still out there somewhere.
They're looking for him, and so is the gun.
So the victim's mother says her
entire family remains terrorize,
afraid that this kid.
May try to silence witnesses
or take some other actions.
So the case still very much open
and a lot of fear about the dan.
These kids allegedly representig
the community reporting live ate
Prince George's County courthou.
Scott Broome, WUSA Nine.
You know, listening to the details here,
I think we're like a lot of
the folks at home listening.
We're we're talking about teenas
here and a 14 year old girl accd
of orchestrating this attack.
Hopefully they find this 15 year
old or teen gunman sometime soo.
Scott. Thank you.
