ST. LOUIS, MO — Two videos posted to Facebook last week appear to show a woman jumping onto a school bus through the rear emergency exit and into the middle of a fight. About a minute later, the woman gets off the bus and yells at several students, who yell back through the bus's open windows.

It isn't clear what led to the incident or exactly what happened while the woman was on the bus, which was headed to Gateway Middle School at the time. The St. Louis Public School District and police are both investigating.

"While there were no issues or concerns immediately reported following this incident, the district was alerted to the incident and immediately began an investigation," school officials told KMOV. "The district can confirm that a female entered the rear of the school bus after being restricted from entering the front while it was parked during a student drop off. The safety and security of students and staff is always our top priority, and we are taking this incident very seriously."
