    Temps are up so are the shooting.

    5 shot, 1 dead in Buffalo drive-by shooting. humm do these people that have the guns have permits. What a place!! That's all you hear lately bang bang dead. How would you like to be the cart pusher at ECMC? People and myself would always blame the increase in temps that make these people kill each other. Looks like im right. If I was a cop in the city you just got let them do what they have to do then show up after the fact.
    Maybe more basketball courts with lights to be set up around the city so they can do more to occupy their time. mayor erkel what do you think? Your gun buy back is not working

    For the second time in two weeks, five people have been shot in one incident.

    The most recent one happened late Thursday in a drive-by shooting in the city's Kensington neighborhood, Buffalo police said.

    Thursday's shooting happened just after 11 p.m. on Marigold Avenue, which runs between Leroy and Central Park avenues, police said. A 38-year-old Buffalo man, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at Erie County Medical Center.

    The shootings were the continuation of a dangerous trend. One June 2, five people were struck by gunfire around 9:15 p.m. while they gathered in the first block of Strauss Street, just off Broadway and west of Fillmore Avenue. In the 19-day period between May 27 and Thursday, the city has seen eight fatal shootings.

    James Giles, who runs Buffalo Peacemakers, a violence and gang intervention program, said the uptick in gun violence is not uncommon once warmer weather arrives. Some of the shootings relate to incidents that may have happened during the winter, he said, and some of those involved are taking more chances.

    another yesterday, A 28-year-old Buffalo man who was seriously injured in the Marigold Avenue shooting remained at ECMC Friday morning, police said. Three other men, ages, 30, 33 and 44, were treated and released from ECMC.

    Has anyone compiled the results since the gun buy back program started? Shootings up or down over all. Or do you think any guns removed from the streets through the program lower the number of shootings?

    Here is an article from 2013

    Gun buybacks popular but ineffective, experts say

    CINCINNATI -- The rifles, pistols and shotguns always look impressive when they're displayed at news conferences celebrating the end of gun buyback campaigns.
    Spread across tables or piled high into overflowing stacks, all those weapons reinforce the notion that trading cash for guns works. It gets guns off the street, organizers say, and makes the city safer.

    The problem, according to years of research, is that it does neither.

    Cincinnati will join a growing list of cities this week that have embraced gun buyback programs in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut. The first of Cincinnati's three planned gun buybacks for 2013 is Tuesday

    Gun Buybacks: Ineffective Wastes Of Tax Dollars

    By Larry Keane, National Shooting Sports Foundation

    As we have said here before, gun buyback programs don’t reduce crime. Amazingly, gun control groups continue to call for these programs, and communities keep running them, despite a complete lack of evidence that they are effective.

    Let’s consider what we do know. While no peer-reviewed research proves buybacks prevent or reduce violent crime, there are studies demonstrating their ineffectiveness. For example, SUNY Buffalo State researchers analyzed the impact of five gun buybacks held from 2007-2012 and found that they do not work. In a recent news article related to gun buybacks, one of the researchers, Scott W. Phillips, an associate professor of criminal justice said, “Does it work? No…Should they keep doing it? I wouldn’t bother wasting their time.”

    Toronto which has even stricter gun laws than NY just had two girls get shot by a gang banger that was trying to shoot someone else.
    Looks like they got an arrest though since I heard about this on Friday

    James Giles, who runs Buffalo Peacemakers, a violence and gang intervention program, said the uptick in gun violence is not uncommon once warmer weather arrives.
    I guess Rev Giles thinks this is an acceptable way of life in the inner city ...an uptick in shooting violence when it gets warmer...as if this is ok, as long as blacks are shooting blacks?

    Have to settle the score in the summer months when everyone’s out on the porch, too hard to locate targets in winter.
    They will sort things out with some targeted killings, with a few collateral injuries, it’s the way of the hood

    Temps are up here we go. 17 month-old, grandmother killed in Fruit Belt shooting early this morning.
    I wonder if the shooters had permits to carry.
    These people are just animals.
    'A horrific, horrific crime' – Grandma, 17-month-old grandson killed in Grape Street shooting
    “We are absolutely in need of the public’s help with this,” Rinaldo said. “… There are people in the community that know little bits and pieces of this story and we need them to come forward…. We need people to stand up, take a stand and say this is not going to be tolerated.”

    He asked witnesses to call either the police confidential TIPCALL line at 849-2255 or the homicide unit at 851-4466.

    “I can tell you that our entire homicide unit is going to work this relentlessly until we bring somebody to justice,” Rinaldo said.

    Neighbors on Grape Street were stunned by the violent deaths of their neighbor and her toddler grandson.

    “It’s a sad day,” said Richard Goodman, who has lived a few houses down on the same block for the last three years. “We’ve always prided ourselves on how quiet it is here. The Fruit Belt has quieted down a lot since 20 years ago when everybody was gangbanging.”

    But that quiet erupted into violence as gunshots rang out at the family’s Fruit Belt home, just south of the Johnnie B. Wiley Stadium on Best Street. The house is next to a grassy, empty corner lot.

    Four people in all were shot. The toddler was rushed to Oishei Children's Hospital but could not be saved. The remaining three were taken to Erie County Medical Center. The two men who were shot in their legs were treated and released

    A New York state trooper responding to an early-morning domestic call was shot and killed near Corning, NY. According to investigators, the suspect was also killed.

    no not animal a nut case. The shootings in the city (27 killed so far) are by gang bangers, thugs, which I look at as people that should not be living in a society. so they are animals. so there u go goober. If you want to see how they live move into these areas of the city.

    Another one last night. A 43-year-old man died after he was gunned down in the Langfield projects.
    It's freakin scary say Langfield residents.
    Lots of children live near the playground just west of Collins Walk, Tell said, adding she was surprised to learn of the shooting. The victim lived across from her apartment in a Langfield Homes property, she said.

    One teenager near the shooting scene Thursday morning said there was a party with fireworks beside the playground on the Fourth of July. Boxes of fireworks were shoved into garbage cans nearby.

    Tell said her son is afraid of fireworks, so at about 11 p.m. Wednesday, she was trying to calm him down, she said. Tell said she never heard any gunshots.

    “You wouldn’t expect anything like that to go on around here,” Tell said.

    Joan Graham, 56, another Langfield Homes resident who said she lived a few apartments over from the man who was killed, was shocked by the violence.

    “I’m ready to move, and I ain’t even finished unpacking yet,” said Graham, who has been in the public housing complex since mid-June. She moved there from Cheektowaga
