  • Simmons said that when the police arrived at the scene, officers saw about 100 people running to and from the location.

    The police are still interviewing witnesses to gather more information about the suspect(s) and how the shooting started.

    A witness told ABC News affiliate in Rochester WHAM that the gunfire sounded "like the Vietnam War."

  • Simmons said that until the 911 call, the police had not received any complaints about a large gathering in the area.

    Notably, Rochester has been witnessing nightly protests after a video of a Black man's death in police custody had surfaced.

    The man, Daniel Prude (41), had died in March after cops pinned him to the ground with a "spit hood" over his head.

  • Prude—who suffered from mental health problems—had been running naked through the streets in light snow when his brother called the cops to get him help.

    After the cops arrived, Prude was restrained and pinned to the ground until he became unresponsive, the video showed.

    He was declared brain dead after being rushed to a hospital. He was taken off life support a week later.
