19-year-old shot on St. Paul Street in Rochester after car chase

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Rochester police officers are currently investigating a shooting that left a 10-year-old injured Sunday afternoon.

Officers said they responded to a call reporting that two cars were chasing each other while someone was shooting a gun in the area of St. Paul Street. A few minutes later, officials say they were notified the victim arrived at a hospital by a privately-owned vehicle.

The victim, a non-city resident, was later taken from that hospital to Strong Memorial Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators are still trying to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting and encourage anyone with information to call 911.
