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.
