Newport News parents and community members are coming together to wait at bus stops with students.
Parents held a meeting to come up with an action plan to keep kids safe, after two teenagers were shot and killed within a week of each other.
A week ago, on September 10, a 15-year old was shot and killed at the bus stop on 16th Street while waiting for the school bus.

“We need to come together as a community. It’s only so much that the schools and police department can do. My plan for the bus stop is to have at least two volunteers at bus stops,” BeBe Johnson, a Newport News parent and resident who organized the meeting said.
