According to the Cortland County Sheriff's Office, this morning, October 31st of 2019, officers began investigating an incident that occurred at approximately 7:15 a.m. on Page Green Road near the intersection with Starr Road in the Town of Cortlandville.
Officers from the Cortland City Police Department were initially called by the Cortland City School District to investigate.
The investigation revealed that their school bus window was struck by an unknown object.
