None of the officers involved in the shooting were injured, the sheriff continued, and there is no current threat to the public.

The shooting is the subject of a criminal investigation by Schenck's office, New York State Police, the New York State Attorney General's Office and the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office. Their assistance was requested by Auburn Police Chief James Slayton, and his department is helping with the investigation, Schenck said. 

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Cayuga County Sheriff's Office Detective Sgt. Nicole Stewart at (315) 294-8093, leave a tip at or use the county's SaferWatch app. Tips can be left anonymously. 

No further information was provided in the news release. A press conference on the shooting has been scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday.

ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» could observe a pool of blood on the sidewalk near a residence, with yellow bullet markers nearby and police tape blocking off part of the scene.

Melone Village  about the shooting on its Facebook page on Friday morning, sharing contact information for the Cayuga County Community Mental Health Center and Cayuga Counseling Services "due to the nature of last evening’s events" and "if you or your children are experiencing any distress and need to talk with someone about what occurred."

At the same meeting, the board approved a resolution accepting Schnurr's resignation from it. She resigned because district employees cannot be board members. 

Schnurr was elected to her seat in May 2022. She was a professor of biology and environmental science and dean of faculty at Wells College in Aurora, which closed in June.

The district has struggled to fill the Earth science teaching position, Birmingham said. He praised Schnurr's work as a board member and her teaching abilities, and noted her son attends Moravia schools.

"She was looking to make a change when Wells closed," Birmingham said. "She loves the district. We were very fortunate she was willing to apply for our open Earth science position."

With Schnurr's resignation, the board of education appointed Terry Thompson, a former member and president, to take the open seat for the remainder of the term, which ends July 1, 2025.

In Schnurr's resignation letter she told the board she enjoyed "working with you all and I appreciate the care and support that you give to the students and the MCSD community. Keep up the good work!"

With the certification, the city will move to take possession of the Schine in Cayuga County Supreme Court, the notice continues. No further information is included.

The theater has been owned by Schines Theater LLC since December 2018. The LLC is closely linked with East Syracuse developer Bryan Bowers and his firm, Bowers Development. 

Bowers did not respond to a request for comment by ÈËÊÞÐÔ½».

Around the same time the LLC bought the 1938 art deco theater for $15,000 from previous owner the Cayuga County Arts Council, Bowers oversaw the remediation of its asbestos and other hazardous materials. The work was supported by $800,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds allocated by the city.

However, there has been little apparent progress on the Schine since then. Bowers appeared in June 2022 before Auburn City Council, saying he hoped to reopen the theater by its 85th anniversary in September 2023. He also said he would be back before City Council that fall — but city officials told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» their communication with him since then has been scarce.

That lack of communication is one reason the city issued the certification of abandonment, Auburn Mayor Jimmy Giannettino told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» on Tuesday.

"We did not take this decision lightly, but felt we had no choice," he said.

"My hope is that the developer will come to the table with a viable path forward because that is what's best for the community and for the Schine theater." 

Giannettino added that he told Bowers shortly after the LLC purchased the Schine, a rehabilitation project dating back to 1998, that it's "an emotional and personal project for the people of Auburn."

"You've got to communicate with them," Giannettino said. "And he just hasn't lived up to that."

Another sign of the LLC's lack of communication with the city has been its failure to pay taxes on time. The Schine owner has fallen behind a few times, Auburn Treasurer Robert Gauthier told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½». In May, the LLC owed $19,208.01 after making its last payment in January 2022 for $9,485.30.

Bowers, who has estimated the theater's rehabilitation would cost about $6 million, is in line to receive $2.2 million in state grants for the project: $1.2 million from the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council and a $1 million Restore New York grant awarded to the city on the Schine's behalf. Despite both grants being announced more than five years ago, Empire State Development confirmed to ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» in May that the theater remains eligible to receive them. They are reimbursement grants, so they will not be received until the money has been spent.

A possible explanation for Bowers' lack of progress on the Schine is the amount of other projects he's overseeing. In Utica, he's been involved in a years-long eminent domain case with Oneida County. He has also been tickets by that city's code enforcement office due to similar inactivity at several historic properties he has purchased there over the last decade.

Bowers recently became attached to a project in Syracuse as well, one that will the 120-year-old warehouse at 400 Erie Blvd. W. to make way for apartments. 

Afterward, withdrawals totaling $49,840 were made from the bank using data recorded by the device, Augello said. More than 250 withdrawals totaling more than $90,000 were attempted, but some were denied. Augello said the bank told police that both its ATMs were empty when employees arrived the following Monday.

Surveillance cameras captured two suspects, Augello said, and the department's investigation is ongoing.

Augello and Capt. Kyle Platt encouraged any banks and bank customers that experience similar incidents to contact police immediately.

"This is not the first bank locally that's had something similar happen," Platt told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½». "We could have prevented the amount of the loss."

Augello and Platt said the bank told police it is refunding any affected customers.

Tompkins Marketing Communications Manager Abby Peterson told ÈËÊÞÐÔ½» in a statement that the bank cannot comment on the investigation, but is cooperating with police.

"The safety and security of our customers’ accounts is our top priority and we are working closely with those involved," she said. "As a reminder, customers should always be diligent in safeguarding their personal information, monitoring their accounts, and notifying their financial institution immediately of any suspicious activity."

Anyone with information about the incident can call Augello at (315) 258-9880 or leave a tip at .

"This is an incredibly sad day for our students, faculty and colleagues, and a tremendous loss for the entire community," the district said.

"They touched the lives of their network of friends and family, and this loss is unfathomable."

Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck said the crash took place Thursday evening. The Trumbles' 2005 Chevy Cobalt was traveling east on Ira Hill Road near the intersection with Farnam Road when it crested a hill and crossed into the opposite lane, striking a westbound 2016 Jeep Cherokee occupied by Robin Latham, 59, of Tully.

Latham was transported to Upstate University Hospital with serious injuries, and remains in stable condition as of Monday morning, Schenck said.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Anyone with information about it is asked to contact Lt. Rob Franklin at (315) 253-1132.

No further information about the accident will be released until the investigation is completed, Schenck said.

Responding to the scene along with the sheriff's office were Cayuga County E-911, New York State Police, the Oswego County Sheriff's Office, the Ira Fire Department, CIMVAC Ambulance, Fair Haven Ambulance, the Cayuga County Office of Emergency Services and the Cayuga County Coroner's Office.
