The driver of the bus tried to flee, but but he obviously never stood a chance of escaping

A man driving a stolen bus attempted to flee from Arkansas state troopers. Officers tried a PIT maneuver before shooting the tires to stop the fleeing bus. The suspect now faces multiple felony charges related to the police pursuit. Arkansas state troopers have a reputation for not messing around when it comes to drivers fleeing traffic stops. Usually, that means breaking out their favorite move—the PIT maneuver—to spin a suspect's car into submission.

One trooper even attempted to use the PIT maneuver against the bus, which failed spectacularly. Then, the bus driver seemed to put themselves into a pickle by driving into a train yard. Rather than getting trapped, they drove onto the tracks and then over onto the other side of them. At some point, the bus slowed down enough for an officer to hop out of their patrol car, run up alongside the moving vehicle, and fire a shotgun at the tires. The plan worked and the large vehicle was immobilized.
