HTN: Batavia School Bus Driver Cheered

The Batavia school bus driver who talked a a six-year-old into surrendering a weapon is being hailed. James Henning told the boy if he didn't want to get in major trouble he needed to hand the weapon over. The boy produced a purple sack with the gun inside. Twenty other kids were on the bus. The boy's father and older brother, who don't live with the little boy, are facing charges of child endangerment and weapons violations, as police say both of them knew the unregistered gun was in the home and had handled it before. The boy said he found the gun under his mother's bed. She has not yet been charged. Authorities are still investigating.
