A North Carolina woman who was caught with an assault rifle at her son's school bus stop Monday says she grabbed the weapon before leaving home because she saw "dangerous animals" coming out of the woods.
"If they were here they would have seen coyotes on my property," she told WSOC . "I was scaring coyotes off. When I was coming back up to my house is when the bus pulled up."
But the unnamed mother, whose 11-year-old son attends North Stanly Middle School, also told the station her son had texted her that morning to say that he had been bullied by other students on the bus to school.
