A longtime educational staple in Rome, New York has reached a point of no return. This school first opened its doors back in 1963 as a high school located at 800 Cypress Street in the city. 61 years later the leadership of the school has announced that it's no longer possible to keep it operating.
On the heels of one of the most tragic and horrific events to hit Central New York, another near fatal officer involved shooting has happened in Upstate New York.
Hundreds of police officers, firefighters, First Responders and even strangers lined the procession route for a slain Syracuse Officer. Two hundred more police cars and motorcycles escorted Officer Michael Jensen back home to Rome.
