Bullet strikes school bus full of students in Upstate NY

East Irondequoit, N.Y. — At least one bullet struck a school bus full of students Monday morning in Upstate New York.
An East Irondequoit bus was ferrying ten high school-aged students to school around 7:40 a.m. when a projectile hit the side windows, the New York State Police said. The “possible” shooting happened on State Route 104 near Portland Ave in East Irondequoit, troopers said.
No one was injured.
The bus was bringing the students to the Aquinas Institute of Rochester, a private Catholic school in Rochester, East Irondequoit Superintendent Mary E. Grow said in a statement. The bullet shattered two of the bus’ windows, she said.
“We are relieved to report that all students are safe and unharmed,“ Grow said. ”The safety of our students and bus driver is our top priority, and we are taking all necessary measures to ensure their well-being.”
The students were brought to Aquinas shortly after the incident and met with school counselors, Aquinas officials said in a statement shared with News10NBC.
Troopers asked anyone with information about the incident to call (585) 398-4100 or email [email protected].
