Students were threatened with knives on a school bus Wednesday afternoon.

The students were riding home from Creekmoor Elementary School in Raymore when two students reportedly each pulled out a knife from their backpacks.

No students were injured during the incident, which occurred in Belton.

Kindergartner Kristopher Russell, 5, said one boy waved his knife at him.

“It felt like he was trying to stab us,” he said.
