(WIS) - After a school bus was hijacked with 18 kids on board, law enforcement says one man emerged as a hero: the driver. Despite remaining calm at gunpoint and putting the safety of his students first, Richland School District Two bus driver Kenneth Corbin shrugs off this new title. âI would and will defer that title to my kids. They are my heroes,â Corbin said to reporters Friday.
