MAN SHOT DURING DRUG TURF GUNFIGHT
Rochester police say a man was shot Tuesday night in a turf battle between
drug dealers.
Capt. Bob Johansson said a group of men were selling marijuana at the
corner of Conkey and Nelson streets when another man approached them and
told them to leave "because he had to make a living too."
The suspect pulled a handgun and struck one of the men standing at the
corner in the head. The rest ran. The suspect began shooting at the fleeing
men and hit one in the leg and in the head. The names of the victims were
not released. The injuries were not life threatening, police said.
