This is another nearly tragic story out of Charm City that thankfully didn’t end as horribly as it might have, and could (possibly) even carry some positive portents for the future. The very bad part of our story unfolded in May of last year on a school bus in Prince George’s County, Maryland. A school bus driver stopped to pick up some teens who proceeded to board the bus. But rather than sitting down and heading to school, 16-year-old Kaeden Holland, who went by the handle of “Baby K,” approached a 14-year-old boy on the bus with two of his friends and pulled out a handgun. He attempted to fire three shots into the younger boy, one in the head and two into the chest. Thankfully, the gun misfired and failed to deliver the fatal shots, but everyone on board, including the driver was seriously traumatized.
Here is where the story takes a strange twist, at least in the modern era….
