Open Records Summary :

Delaware State Police troopers were dispatched to a report of a "suspicious person with a gun" and chased Wiseman to an area near Route 141, where a shootout began during which a bus carrying high school students was hit three times. One of the bullets entered the school bus while another was lodged in the seventh-row window where a student was sitting. Wiseman ran onto Route 141 and carjacked one person before fleeing down I-95 south toward Newark. That triggered additional shootouts at several locations, as well as another carjacking, over a period of about an hour. Delaware State Police finally stopped Wiseman's car near Route 896 and police engaged him gunfire, killing him.
