Child, 8, accused of weapons threat on Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk bus

There was a weapons scare on a Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk bus Thursday. However, the district says it was a false alarm.

Investigators say it involved an 8-year-old child.

Superintendent Brian Bailey wrote on the district’s web page “students reported to their bus driver that another student on the bus said they had a weapon in their possession. The bus driver immediately pulled over and notified transportation dispatch.” School resource officers and police were also notified.

No weapons were found.

Bailey says the incident will be dealt with in the district’s code of conduct.
