Attorney Claims Video Evidence Supports School Bus Driver's Self-Defense in Student Assault Case

A St. Louis school bus driver, 51-year-old Lamar Murray, faces charges after allegedly assaulting two students and leaving others stranded. He is charged with first-degree child endangerment for this May 2 incident. Authorities arrested him later at a bus garage, while the school district condemned his behavior as unacceptable. Murray’s attorney suggests surveillance footage may reveal self-defense. Community reactions vary, with many questioning the circumstances leading to his actions. The prosecutor emphasized that the evidence was carefully reviewed before charges were filed.
