Stray Bullets Injure Three and Man Accidentally Shoots Himself with Friend’s Glock

While sitting at home in Rochester, New York, a 16-year-old girl was struck by a stray bullet. Police responded to a call about a person shot, and found a 42-year-old man inside a vehicle with at least one gunshot wound. During their investigation, police also discovered the injured teen who they believe was struck during the same shooting incident. Both victims were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No suspects are in custody as police continue to investigate.
