A Flint police officer will ride to school with a group of children starting Monday.  

Last week, a bullet struck the bus as children rode home from school.

Last Thursday’s shooting remains under investigation. No one was hurt.

Madison Academy canceled classes on Friday as a precaution.

Flint Police Chief Tim Johnson says he’s assigning the officer to ride the bus in order to help people feel safe. 

Exactly how long the bus ride-a-long will continue has not be determined.
