NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A school bus in New Haven was “grazed” by a bullet with three students on board, school officials confirmed. All four students on the bus are safe and uninjured.
Police responded to the area of Lamberton St. and Kimberly Ave on reports of gunfire.
The bus was driving on Lamberton around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday when the bus driver heard gunshots ring out and felt something strike the bus, the bus driver told FOX61 at the scene.
The bus driver said she then pulled over as soon as she could to check on the four kids on the bus and then called the police.
It is not immediately clear where the bullet originated, however, reports claim that it was a ricochet. New Haven police are investigating.
A mini school bus was seen with a hole in it.
