“Students Duck for Cover: Bronx School Bus Caught in Gunfire Scare”
Alright, folks, let’s dive into this wild story that’s shaking up the Bronx! Picture this: a school bus filled with students with special needs cruising along when, out of nowhere, it gets caught in a hail of gunfire. Yep, you heard that right. On March 21, just after 2 p.m., a bus near East 163rd Street and Trinity Avenue took three shots—one hitting the back window and two striking the side. Luckily, no one was hurt, but you can bet the kids and their driver were in for a seriously scary ride.
As the bus driver sped off to safety—driving about half a mile amidst the chaos—the bus matron heroically ducked down to shield two of the children. Talk about a tense moment! Jose Polanco, a coworker of the driver, said it best: “He was scared about those kids.” The drama unfolded as four suspects, decked out in black, exchanged gunfire in a scene straight out of a crime thriller. They took off on foot, leaving police to hunt them down while students at a nearby school were put on lockdown for about half an hour.
This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers young people face, even in what should be a safe space like a school bus. NYC Public Schools and the NYPD have yet to comment, but parents and community members are understandably rattled. So, if you thought your day was going sideways, just remember: it could always be worse. Stay safe out there, everyone!
