School bus hero’s mom not surprised at feat

YAZOO CITY — The mother of a Mississippi high school football standout says she wasn’t surprised to hear he wrestled a loaded gun from a 14-year-old girl on school bus.

Ora Eulls said Kaleb Eulls’ four sisters and two cousins were also on the Yazoo County School District bus when the unnamed girl pulled a semiautomatic handgun out of her flower-print bag after boarding the bus on Tuesday.

“I always taught all of them to look out for each other and others,” Ora Eulls said Thursday. “It was a good thing because he saved other lives. But he could have lost his life saving their lives.”

The 6-foot-4, 255-pound Kaleb Eulls approached the girl, tackled her and wrestled the gun out of her hand.
