It's time to take a look back at the stories making headlines this week in the 69 News week in review.

On Monday, a police officer from Bucks County said he was shot in the line of duty, but a day later officials said the whole story was a hoax.

Police said Officer Jon Cousin of the Chalfont Police Department said he stopped a suspicious vehicle at the Lenape Valley Swim Club early Monday morning.  He said when he got out of his vehicle, two men approached him and one shot him in the chest. Cousin said his bullet proof vest stopped the bullet.

After an investigation, officials determined Cousin actually fired a round of his own into the vest while he wasn't wearing it.

Cousin is now behind bars facing several charges.

The first week of school for some Berks County students left their parents thinking the worst after a bus mix-up.

Students from Millmont Elementary were bused to the wrong place Tuesday, and parents were frantic when they came to pick up their children, and they were no where to be found.

One student said he was dropped off 10 blocks from his stop.

The Berks County Intermediate Unit buses the students and said the school district is responsible for giving them the drop-off locations.
