On Thursday, August 14th, at approximately 10:40 pm, Officers were dispatched to a possible shooting in the area of Burger King. As Officers were responding, more information was obtained, indicating that the incident may have taken place on the 100 block of North Main St. Officers observed several people near the Endzone Pub and a vehicle which was parked diagonally in front of the establishment, heading in the wrong direction.
Officers located a male on the ground in front of the vehicle, and another male was standing near the vehicle. The male standing, was the individual that had been shot. An Officer immediately began tending to him until Herkimer Fire and MOVAC arrived. A handgun was located at the scene and secured. It was learned that a bystander in a vehicle witnessed the shooting and used his vehicle to neutralize the shooter, most likely preventing further shots being fired at the victim as well as toward several patrons seated in front of the establishment.
Both individuals were taken to the Wynn Hospital for medical treatment.
The Investigator and an Evidence Specialist processed the scene. During the course of the investigation, it was learned that the incident began near the bus stop on Albany St at the intersection of N Main St. The Investigator and Officers then searched the area and secured additional evidence.
As of 3:30 am, both were in stable condition.
Due to the traumatic situation, we enlisted the assistance of our Crisis Intervention Worker (MCAT) to work with those who witnessed the shooting.
More information will be provided at the conclusion of this investigation.
