No one at a Gwinnett County daycare knows why anyone would slash the tires and set a bus on fire in the parking lot.
But that's exactly what happened Tuesday at The Harvest School on North Deshong Road in Stone Mountain, Gwinnett fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge said.
Firefighters found the bus ablaze about 1 a.m., parked away from the building in a corner of the parking lot. Rutledge said the fire broke out after midnight.
Video surveillance caught a person slashing the tires and later fleeing as the bus erupted in flames, Rutledge said.
Officials aren’t releasing more information about how the fire was set during the active arson investigation.
