UPDATE: Clarification on Poughkeepsie Bus Incident

Following concerns raised earlier about a suspicious bus attempting to pick up a student in the Town of Poughkeepsie, Arlington School District has confirmed that the bus in question was a legitimate Arlington bus assigned to transport a student for a District program.

The District has since spoken with the parent who reported the incident and clarified the misunderstanding. They encourage families with concerns about their child’s bus route to contact District Transportation at (845) 486-4955.

This serves as a reminder to always stay alert, ask questions, and verify transportation details when in doubt. We appreciate the community’s vigilance in looking out for one another!

⚠️ Community Alert: Suspicious Bus Incident in Poughkeepsie ⚠️

This morning in the Town of Poughkeepsie, a local parent experienced a troubling situation while waiting for their child’s school bus. A small bus pulled up, with two men inside waving for the child to get on, claiming it was a “new bus today.” When questioned, they asked for the child’s name—only after insisting he board—then said he was the wrong person.

The parent contacted school transportation, who confirmed they had received another similar call and had no knowledge of this bus. A report has been filed with the Town of Poughkeepsie Police.

Stay vigilant, parents and guardians! Always verify transportation details and remind your children never to board a bus or vehicle they weren’t expecting. If you see anything suspicious, report it immediately.

On January 14, 2025, at approximately 2:24PM, City of Newburgh Police responded to the area of 201 Fullerton Avenue, Newburgh Free Academy Main Campus, following an alert for gun shots fired. Additional calls continued to come into police communications from witnesses for shots fired and a large fight in progress.

During school dismissal a fight began involving several students from the dismissal and a former student. The fight spilled into the roadway at Fullerton Avenue where the student aggressors separated themselves from the fight. The former student then produced a firearm, pursued the other persons onto the NFA Main campus near the South Street and Fullerton Avenue school bus driveway, and fired several shots into the crowd. ​ ​ ​

An Orange County Sheriff’s Office School Security Deputy (“SSD”) assigned to the school responded and observed the suspect still holding the firearm. The SSD engaged the suspect who then fled from the SSD on foot, leading him on a foot chase.

Responding City of Newburgh Police Officers joined in the pursuit and located the fleeing suspect, approximately two blocks from the scene of the shooting. City of Newburgh Police Officers were able to take the suspect into custody and recovered the loaded handgun used in the shooting.

There are no reported injuries from this incident.

The suspect was identified as Kevin Gaspar, an 18-year-old Town of Newburgh resident. Gaspar is being charged with several felony offenses including weapons charges and reckless endangerment. ​

City of Newburgh Detectives are currently investigating this incident. Anyone who may have information is asked to contact Detective Edgar at 845-569-7558.
