NORTH STONINGTON, Conn. -- Three youths are accused at shooting at a tour bus headed to Foxwoods Casino on Friday evening.

Police said they received a 911 call from the driver of a tour bus that was traveling southbound on Interstate 95 between exits 93 and 92 in North Stonington. The driver told police that several passengers on the bus saw someone shoot at the bus from a nearby wooded area.

The bus, which was carrying 46 passengers en route to the casino stopped on the exit 92 off-ramp. Police said a passenger-side window on the right-side of the bus was damaged. Using a K-9, police tracked three juveniles in the wooded area.

1. Well they will probably

be put on house arrest.Because they were teens they will use they were just kids who used poor judgment defense.And probably will not take into the consideration of how tragic this could have turned out.

A VANDALISM spree in Walkerston over the weekend has cost Coopers Bus Service more than $2000.

And owner Bevan Cooper is not happy – not only did it hit him in the hip pocket but it also caused a disruption to the school bus run yesterday morning.

6. And it almost completely smashed one window!

Scary.

Just like a rifle bullet.

8. Reading comprehension.. it's what's for dinner.

"“The bus was parked on private property and over the weekend the driver’s side of the bus had six windows smashed,” he said."

10. They have done it with rocks.

Used to be a picket-line crossing tactic, too. Kids would hang a cinder block off of an overpass bridge and let trucks slam into it. It kills.

7. Senseless shooting

I-95 is wall-to-wall tour busses headed to the casinos in that area.

The punks should get the book thrown at them.

9. Concrete chunks into cars.

A few years back kids on the D.C. beltway brought a bunch of concrete chunks onto a bridge and threw them at cars going under the bridge.
They hit some cars and nearly killed a little girl when one of the chunks took out a window and part of the roof support and smashed the girls shoulder and part of her face. The concrete chunks were the size of a basket ball. The cars were going about 65mph at impact.
