    Police Probe attempted murder in Falls

    Niagara Falls, New York

    Niagara Gazette — Falls police detectives are looking for two suspects who they say tried to gun down a man in the doorway of his business in the 2300 block of Hyde Park Boulevard early Tuesday morning.
    The 56-year-old victim told investigators two men came to the door at 1:30 a.m. and confronted him. One of the suspects then shot him in the upper chest, near his shoulder.
    The pair fled from the scene in an unknown vehicle.
    Police said the victim was able to call for help on his own. He was taken to the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo where he was treated and released.
    Investigators called the shooting "an attempted murder."
    "(The suspects) were there for that guy," Detective Lt. Mike Trane said. "They were coming for him."
    Trane said investigators were looking into leads in the case. Anyone who may have information about the shooting is asked to call detectives at 286-4553.

    NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK – The owner and president of Integrated Controls told police he opened the door to the office of his Hyde Park Boulevard business to someone claiming to be a pizza deliveryman Tuesday morning and was shot.

    Integrated Controls President Sandro Viola, 56, of Niagara Falls, was shot once in the upper chest, in the shoulder area, at about 1:30 a.m. just outside his office at 2323 Hyde Park Boulevard.

    Niagara Falls Detective Lt. Michael Trane said Viola was able to call for help on his own.

    Viola was taken to Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo, for his injuries, where he was treated and released Tuesday afternoon.

    “[Viola] said he was in his office, and a man came to the office and knocked on the door. The man said something about delivering a pizza,” investigators said.

    Viola told police that two men were at the door and that one of them shot him, said Trane.

    “He said he didn’t order a pizza, and they shot him,” police said.

    The men fled. Few details were provided about them, but police asked that anyone with information contact city detectives at 286-4553.

    Integrated Controls’ offices were last in the news when they were ransacked by burglars in 2006, but nothing valuable was reported stolen.

    The motive for the shooting still is under investigation.

    Integrated Controls is an aftermarket distributor of car parts and accessories, which includes engine management components for automobiles and high-performance, marine, agriculture, industrial and heavy-equipment markets.

    In addition to his city business, Viola is known for his work in recreational tennis circles, where he served as Les Nassoiy League president, as well as for his efforts to increase membership in the Hyde Park co-ed recreational league.

    Both of his daughters, Francesca and Danielle, have been members of the tennis league.
