ROCHESTER, N.Y. — News10NBC’s photojournalist saw a person being taken away in handcuffs on Lyell Avenue on Wednesday morning, eight hours after Rochester Police found two men shot around the same area.
Officers found the victims just before 9:50 p.m. on Tuesday and remained at the scene overnight. Our crew saw a person come out of a house before being handcuffed and saw long guns pointed at the house.
The victims, 43 and 49, were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Rochester Police say no charges have been filed as of Wednesday at noon and the investigation is ongoing.
Our crew at the scene on Tuesday night saw New York State troopers, a K-9 unit, and multiple RPD cars. We heard police using a megaphone or loudspeaker to try to get a person out of a house. We also saw a State Police car being taken away by a tow truck.
Lyell Avenue remained closed between South Plymouth and Lake avenues into the morning but it has since reopened.
