Police in the city of Rochester said they arrived to find around 100 people running down the street.

Acting police chief Mark Simmons told reporters today:
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>"This is truly a tragedy of epic proportions," </strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Mr Simmons said: "the two victims, a man and a woman who have not been named, were aged between 18 and 22. None of the 14 others who were shot suffered life-threatening injuries... </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>"This is yet another tragedy where individuals are having these illegal and unsanctioned house parties taking place in these properties," the chief said. He said these are unsafe because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and when "you add in alcohol and violence … it just becomes a recipe for disaster."</strong></em></p>

In a statement provided to WHAM, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said today:
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>"This tragic act of violence has impacted many people's lives and families. I'm begging everyone to remain calm and exercise deep restraint as RPD investigates what happened here and seeks those responsible."</strong></em></p>

He died in March, but the case only became public earlier this month. Rochester police chief La'Ron Singletary has since stepped down, saying that his handling of the case was being distorted. Seven officers have also been suspended.
