A dramatic police chase unfolded in Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon after a hijacked transit bus incident. The chaos began at 45 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard when a fight broke out, and someone seized control of a Gwinnett County Transit bus.
Numerous Atlanta police officers pursued the stolen bus past Spaghetti Junction. The high-speed chase forced all Interstate 85 lanes to temporarily close as officers strategized to stop the vehicle.
The chase reached its climax when the bus exited at Jimmy Carter Boulevard. Officers deployed spike strips, successfully disabling the bus’s tires. Alleged videos and pictures of the incident posted to X shows the dramatic chase play out:

The bus eventually stopped on Hugh Howell Road in DeKalb County, where it was surrounded by law enforcement. A SWAT vehicle positioned itself directly in front of the bus, with Georgia State Patrol, DeKalb County Police, and Atlanta Police all responding to the incident.
Confusion remained over who was driving the bus at the time. Investigations continue to determine whether the bus driver was in control or if another person was behind the wheel.
The suspect, a 39-year-old man, has been detained and is now in police custody. Early reports are claiming one fatality, but these statements have yet to be confirmed by law enforcement.

So, the question remains…was this an illegal migrat…or just another person overcome who had taken the posionous mind controlling vaccine?
how many OJ’s can you fit on that bus?
If you packed too many OJs on board, they’d probably get into fights between each other, thereby reducing the number of remaining OJs.
so a 39 year old man… whats his name? US citizen?
Haven’t these police ever played Grand Theft Auto? The bus has too many hit points and can blast through road blocks. Best leave it be until it runs out of fuel.
I’m sure they have multiple reporters waiting on a statement from the cops and will parrot it without question.
Absolute truth,
You are all in rare form tonight, funny stuff.
Details,details,details, oh no, their black or illegals. So sad to assume, what are they always hiding. Sick of journalist deceit. The useful idiots of the elite.They are using the illegals for their new slave class because we have become too uppity.
12ga. sabot slug to the tires would’ve slowed it down quite a bit, imo. Certainly a sight to see though!
Absolutely no word on the bus driver. I’d like to know how a bus gets stolen. Bus driver leave the keys in the bus? And what a perfect time to commit a crime when the entire local and extended law enforcement community were all chasing the bus at the same time. This is overkill on steroids and then some.
