Tuesday afternoon, the third fatal shooting in 24 hours occured in Rochester. Monday afternoon a man was shot and killed and 12 hours later a young 16 year-old boy was shot, and now the fatal shooting yesterday.
After the third shooting yesterday afternoon, Captain Frank Umbrino was quoted saying:
“As far as what’s going on, it’s lawlessness. I mean, to have 65 people killed in the City of Rochester within the last 12 months is terrible, and I think we as a community really need to take a sep back and reflect, is what we’re spending our time on right now, is that what we should be spending our time on? Or should we as a community have different priorities? Should we be spending all this time and effort on reducing the violence in real ways, not with rhetoric, but what are the real solutions to solve the problems so people can live in the city without having to worry about getting shot and killed?”
