A Fort Jackson trainee is in custody after allegedly hijacking a South Carolina elementary school bus with 18 children on board, authorities said.

The Forest Lake Elementary students and the bus driver are safe, Richland County Sheriff Lott said at a news conference.

Lott called this "one of the scariest calls that we could get in law enforcement."

The incident began around 7 a.m. Thursday when the suspect allegedly fled Fort Jackson, Lott said.

1. He'll probably get more time for boosting the rifle from the post

than for kidnapping the children.

If there's one entity that takes gun control seriously, it's the U.S. military. Just the rumor of a lost or misplaced rifle is enough to shut down some military installations until the item is found. And no one, but no one just casually walks around a military base with military weaponry. It's secured in an arms room at all times, or people go to jail.
