Shots fired, Ossining fire, laptops stolen from immigrant aid organization

A Newburgh man was found guilty of criminal possession of a weapon after a shooting on Dubois Street last July. Frank Baltimore, 37, was found guilty following a trial Wednesday. Authorities say Baltimore threatened people on Dubois Street before firing five shots into the air. Fortunately, no one got hurt. Baltimore faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced September 3.

Hunter Street in Ossining is back open after a fire broke out Wednesday evening. Police and firefighters responded to the scene shortly after 5 p.m. Authorities say no one was injured in the fire. The investigation is looking into the causes of the fire.

An organization dedicated to helping immigrants in Rockland County is picking up the pieces after a burglary. Konbit Neg Lakay says 15 laptops were stolen from his Spring Valley office Sunday evening. The laptops were for a program to help new immigrants, particularly women and children, according to the organization's CEO Renold Julien. “It hurts because the thing is, I was like, 'Is there something we didn't do right?' Because after 36 years, you really feel like you're part of the community and everyone was going to protect you,” Julien said. Spring Valley police are reviewing surveillance footage from the area.
