ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Gunfire at a backyard party killed two people and wounded 14 others early Saturday in Rochester, New York, a city that has been roiled in recent weeks by outrage over the suffocation death of Daniel Prude.
As many as 100 people were at the gathering when the shooting started just before 12:30 a.m., Acting Police Chief Mark Simmons told reporters.
Police were still trying to piece together who opened fire and why. Simmons said it was too early to say whether more than one person was shooting or whom the intended targets may have been.
A man and woman, estimated to be in their late teens or early 20s, were killed, Simmons said. Their names weren’t immediately released. The 14 wounded by gunfire were not believed to have life-threatening injuries.
The acting chief said no suspects were in custody.
“This is truly a tragedy of epic proportions,” Simmons said in a news conference held near the home. “I mean 16 victims is unheard of, and for our community, who’s right now going through so much, to have to be dealt with this tragedy, needlessly, for people who decide to act in a violent manner is unfortunate and shameful, and we’re going to do everything that we can as a department to bring those people involved to justice.”
The shooting comes as the city in Western New York has been rocked by days of protests over Prude’s death, caused when Rochester police officers put a hood over his head to stop him from spitting, then pushed his face into the pavement and held him down until he stopped breathing.
On Monday, the city’s mayor fired Police Chief La’Ron Singletary, who she said initially misled her about the circumstances of the March death. Other senior police officials announced they would retire or leave top command positions.
The acting police chief, Simmons, expressed frustration early Saturday that someone had held a large, late-night party amid that tumult, apparently in defiance of a state ban on large gatherings because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is yet another tragedy where individuals are having these illegal, unsanctioned house parties taking place in these properties, which — number one — is not safe because of COVID, because of the conditions,” Simmons said. “And then you add in alcohol and violence and it just becomes a recipe for disaster.”
Officers responding to calls of shots fired found “approximately 100 people” running from the scene, Simmons said. Before the call, police were not aware of the party and had received no complaints about noise, he said.
The wounded were being treated at local hospitals. Two more people were hurt while fleeing, the Major Crimes Unit said in a tweet. Despite the lack of arrests, Simmons said there was no reason to believe the neighborhood was unsafe.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren issued a statement asking for “prayers and support for all involved.”
“I’m begging everyone to remain calm and exercise deep restraint as RPD investigates what happened here and seeks those responsible,” she said.

The Dallas Independent School District apologized for an assignment that asked high school students to write an essay about a "hero for the modern age," & choose someone from a list that includes Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old Antioch teen accused of killing two people during racial justice protests in Kenosha.
Rittenhouse was suggested as a "hero for the modern age" along with the possible subjects of Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, Malcolm X, George Floyd & Joseph Rosenbaum — one of Rittenhouse's alleged victims.
Rittenhouse was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide for the shooting deaths of Rosenbaum & Anthony Huber during protests on Aug. 25 following the shooting of Jacob Blake by police.
The assignment asked students to write at least a half-page biography of six people. Then pick one that best demonstrates the student’s concept of a hero.
The school district said the assignment was not approved & taken down by administrators after it was posted to Google Classroom on Tuesday.
Kristian Hernandez told NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth that her younger brother, a senior at W.T. White High School, shared a screengrab of the assignment with her family.
“My brother was really in disbelief that this was actually an assignment he was getting,” she stated. Hernandez said she reached out to her brother’s principal with her concerns.
"The juxtaposition of George Floyd's name with Kyle's name was just astounding," she said. “The value of Black lives are not up for debate & that’s what it felt like this was sort of getting at — by way of the names that were included."
DISD said the teacher has been with the district for approximately three years. In a statement, the district apologized & said the content was not part of approved lesson plans.
“An unapproved assignment posted in Google Classroom yesterday has been brought to our attention. Understandably, this caused some concern for the impacted students, and we apologize. Campus administration immediately removed the unapproved content and students are not required to complete that assignment. Due to personnel policies, we are not able to comment further, however, the appropriate steps are being followed pending investigation."

Delivering his sharp witted vocals over the spine-chilling beat from UK production team Dedw8, Conway the Machine reinforces his firm and fearsome reputation on this new single 'Clean the Whole Room Out.'
Serving as both a warning shot and statement of intent, Conway's unmistakable delivery and gritty content in CTWRO reinforces the formidable reputation which he's built over the past 15 years.
The energy and mood from the beat sit firmly within the 'horror scope' soundscape, leaving Conway's devious lifestyle rap with a bass-heavy foundation to bubble in the pot.
Speaking on the sound, Baileys Brown said "We have cultivated the Dedw8 sound over the past five years. Over one album, two EPs and various singles on some of the best underground labels in the world, we are in essence experimental mood music."
Perhaps this is how they managed to snag not just one 16-bar verse, but a full song out of one-third of the most feared rap trio in the game.
Alongside Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine makes up Griselda. The Buffalo, New York record label and lifestyle brand are more than just 'hottest in the hood', rolling in the circles of JAY-Z and Eminem. In 2017, Conway signed to Eminem's Shady Records, with Marshall Mathers himself stating “The style and energy of Griselda Records, Gunn and Conway are infectious".
Describing how the collaboration came about, Baileys explained "We have been fans for a few years and we hit him up on Instagram, wishing on a star. He came back to us and the rest is history..."
'Clean the Whole Room Out' is available on limited vinyl and digital release via Split Prophets records. Grab your copy now: https://backl.ink/CleantheRoomOut

A Miami man is planning to sue rapper Tory Lanez for allegedly assaulting him last year at a Miami Beach nightclub.
Prince, an artist and club promoter who appeared on "Love & Hip Hop: Miami," told NBC 6 Lanez punched and attacked him Nov. 9 inside LIV nightclub. The fight was caught on cellphone video.
"He swung, he initially missed, he jumped over and then they just started trying to attack me," Prince said. "They backed me into a corner, and once I was there, they started stomping on me, jumping on me."
Before the alleged assault, Prince said he knew the rapper very well because he always helped him get into the club. He believes the dispute stems from an Instagram post about a song.
"They felt that I was insinuating that they stole the record from me, and I was just like, no, I would never do that, that was never my intention," Prince said. "I had no issue with him at all."
Lanez has not responded to NBC 6's request for a statement. Last month, rapper Megan Thee Stallion said Lanez was the one who shot her in July after a party in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles.
"It seems like it's a chronic problem with him," said Prince's attorney, Marwan Porter of Porter Law Firm.
Porter said his client approached him a few weeks after the incident, but they tried to settle the issue out of court to no avail.
"Tory needs to be held accountable for his misconduct, for his bad behavior and bad habits," Porter said.
Prince said he's been dealing with anxiety as well as several procedures to fix a dislodged tooth since the incident.
"I'm not gonna beat you up, I'm not gonna call the cops now," he said. "I'm just going to go and get money for it and fix everything that I had to handle."
