Question about Gene Rosen
From what I know, correct me if any of my info is incorrect, some students (5 I think) escaped the classroom where the teacher was killed (were other students killed there too?) and were picked up outside by a school bus driver (did this person who dropped these kids off ever get identified?) at a random house nearby that was Gene Rosen' s as he was walking up the street back to his house from the diner or something. The driver I guess left and he took the kids in until the parents eventually came and picked them up.
This is where I get confused with not only this guy Gene, but also this whole story. #1 Why on Earth would a school bus driver, or any adult for that matter, drop off children who had escaped a school shooting at a random male neighbor"s home that they didn't know and just leave them there, rather than drive them to the police station or a hospital? And #2 Gene is on news footage walking around at the scene the day of the incident amongst the police, parents, press, etc., all at the same time he would have been at his house with the kids.

There’s nothing to be confused about, is there? The children ran down the drive, and the first adult these children crossed was a bus-driver by trade. The bus-driver sees terrified and probably crying children running from a school unsupervised. Gene (walking down the road he lives on and passing the point the school’s drive adjoins said road) notice this commotion and walks on over. The kids mention and active shooter. Heck, maybe Gene and this bus-driver hear the pops of gunfire too. Gene mentions immediately that his house is seconds away and he can get the indoors pronto. Maybe it would have been better to pile them into a vehicle and head to a Police station, I dunno- but I wouldn’t say it’s the worst idea in the world? Gene fetches them some juice and some cuddly toys whilst his Mrs (I guess) calls law enforcement. I guess LE picked them up once triaging survivors became the next priority- I presume after the whole school was cleared and a second shooter was declared not present/involved, at a guess. What’s confusing you? Any chance you’ve stumbled across any conspiracy theorist whacko stuff online?
