SAN JOSE, Calif. — A school bus driver who killed a co-worker and injured three others after opening fire at a bus yard was sentenced Friday to 35 years to life in prison.
Cathline Repunte, 37, has never said what prompted her to shoot at fellow Laidlaw Transit Inc. workers on April 23, 2001.
Repunte shot and killed Randy Rigdon Jr., who was training her to drive a larger bus. She also wounded Patty Lucia, Carrie Walter and Gloria Guihuiz; none of their injuries were life-threatening.

Repunte had been diagnosed with severe paranoid schizophrenia and was found fit to stand trial only after receiving therapy and medication.
