Police say 2:30am the Rochester Police Department responded to 547 State St. for
the report of multiple people shot. Upon arrival officers found a large crowd dispersing from the 500 block of State St. Officers also found multiple shooting victims. The first victim, a male in his 20's, was found outside in a parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body.

The second victim, a male in his 30's, was found on the sidewalk suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body. This male was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital with what are considered non-life threatening injuries. The third victim, a male in his 30's, was found near the corner of Lyell Ave and State St suffering from a stab wound to his body. This victim was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital and is being treated for what are considered non-life threatening injuries During the preliminary investigation it was determined that a non-sanctioned "after-hours party" was being hosted at a restaurant named Burrito Urbana located at 547 State St.
While patrons were outside of this location an argument of some type occurred, shots were fired and victim one and two were struck by gunfire. Victim three was working a hot dog cart at the corner of Lyell Ave and State St. After the shots were fired several patrons rushed to this corner presumably to avoid getting hit by gun fire. It was at this time that the third victim was stabbed. At this time investigators do not know what led up to this stabbing.
