Parent follows bus and waves gun at Louisville middle school students, per JCPS

Officials with the Jefferson County Public Schools Police Department are investigating, according to a school principal, after a parent reportedly followed a bus full of students and waved a gun at it Thursday morning.

In a letter to students' parents sent after the incident, Noe Middle School Principal Jennifer Cave said a parent walked up to a group of the school's students who were at a bus stop that morning and asked the students several questions.

"When the bus arrived, the students boarded, and the parent got into a car, followed the bus, and waved a gun at the bus," the email continued.

Noe Middle is located in Old Louisville near Manual High's campus.

The JCPS Police Department is "investigating the actions of the adult," Cave wrote, adding that mental health providers were available to students to talk about the incident.

This is at least the second time an adult has been accused of threatening JCPS students on or by a bus recently.

Last month, an adult man boarded a Carter Traditional Elementary bus with a girl and was seen on video threatening students as they were being taken home.

In a video posted to social media, the man, who entered the bus with a girl, was shown cursing at students and at one point saying he would “flip this whole bus” while accusing at least one child of touching his daughter. At least one child could be heard sobbing during the chaos.

Neither were associated with the school, according to the principal. The man was later charged with terroristic threatening.
