A senseless act of violence occurred last night in Rochester, New York as two people were killed all while 14 were injured. According to the Rochester Police Department, a mass shooting took place at a backyard part that had upwards of a hundred people in attendance.

As of right now, a suspect has yet to be identified, as authorities continue to interview witnesses for more information. In the ABC report, it was explained that close to 100 people were running from the site of the shooting, all while others tried to get to the scene to help those who might be hurt.
