The shooting happened across the street from a school bus garage. Since buses could not leave as police searched for a suspect, classes were delayed at Riverview Community High School and Memorial Elementary School.

Bottrell is charged with one count of aggravated assault with intent to commit murder, one count of assault with great bodily harm less than murder, one count of felonious assault, and three counts of felony firearm.
