10-year-old boy recounts harrowing moment armed man hijacked school bus

Ten-year-old Ke'aundre James was in the back of the bus headed to school when he spotted a strange man with a rifle.

Ten-year-old Ke'aundre James was on the bus headed to school when he "heard yelling and cussing in the front" -- and spotted a man with a rifle. The gunman "was telling the bus driver, 'Close the doors, take me to the next town over. Go, go, go.' And stuff like that," Ke'aundre told ABC News. So Ke'aundre called his parents. "I was telling him [his father] I was being held hostage, and my mom and my dad started freaking out," the fourth grader said. "They got in the car and I told them where we was going."
