The Jefferson County Public Schools system maintains nearly 25,000 bus stops across the city, where more than 65,000 students are carried to and from school each day.
Last week, 16-year-old Tyree Smith was killed and two other students were injured by gunfire from a passing car as they waited for their bus to Eastern High School. At least one shooting had been reported there before. Until this weekend, there was no streetlight at the intersection.
