One person is dead and six are injured after a mass shooting at a crowded park in upstate New York over the weekend.
The Rochester Police Department said officers responded to the incident at about 6:20 p.m. at Maplewood Park on Sunday.
When officers arrived on the scene, they encountered several people with gunshot wounds. Victims were transported to the hospital via ambulance and some with a private vehicle, police said.
Bello said the incident in which a gunman opened fire on “a Sunday afternoon where everybody's out barbecuing, having a good time” was “incredibly unacceptable in our society.”
Rochester Mayor Malik Evans echoed his sentiments.
“This is a tragedy what happened today. Early in the day, we’re talking 6:20 p.m, when families are out, having a good time in the park — and we had this tragedy of a shooting,” Evans said in a news conference.
