(CNN)<\/cite>A Fort Jackson trainee is in custody after allegedly hijacking a school bus full of students on its way to Forest Lake Elementary School in Columbia, South Carolina, the Richland County sheriff said.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Leon Lott called the incident “a very scary situation,” but said none of the 18 the<\/del> children on board the bus were injured. The bus driver was also uninjured.<\/p>\n

“Probably one of the scariest calls we can get in law enforcement and as a school district is that a school bus has been hijacked with kids on it with someone with a gun. And that’s what we had this morning,” Lott told reporters during a press conference Thursday.<\/p>\n

Lott said that around 7:00 am, a Fort Jackson trainee dressed in physical training clothes left the Army base armed with a rifle. According to Lott, the trainee was in his third week of training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
