NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) - Police say they're looking for the gunman who opened fire outside a western New York convenience store, wounding two teenagers and a 21-year-old man.


Authorities in the city of Niagara Falls tell local media outlets that a man walked up to three people standing outside the store shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday and began shooting.


Police say a 16-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to his arm and an 18-year-old man was hit in his ankle. The third victim was shot in the shoulder.


All three were treated at Niagara Falls Memorial Center for wounds that police say aren't considered life-threatening.


Police say they believe one of the victims was the intended targets and the other two were hit by stray bullets.


Investigators aren't releasing information on a possible motive for the shooting.
