News in Brief: Oatmeal-Related School Bus Shooting

Bryan Belrad
A young girl in Houston was running a little late one morning last week. The bus came, and she hadn't finished her oatmeal.

So, naturally, she tried to bring it on the bus to finish it on the way. Alas, the driver informed her, her plan was flawed; the school district does not allow food on its busses.

That's when her father decided it would be a good time to be a 'tough guy.'

In a brilliant demonstration of why some people shouldn't have custody of their own kids, the perturbed parent pulled out a hand gun and opened fire on the bus.

Fortunately, no humans were injured. The school bus, however, had to be treated for several gunshot wounds. It is expected to make a full recovery.

The girl's father, though, is presently in police custody.
