Two shot, seriously injured in Rochester overnight

Two men suffered serious injuries following separate shootings in Rochester Thursday morning, according to Rochester police.

The shootings occurred five hours apart and in different parts of the city. Rochester Police Capt. Ryan Tauriello said officers do not believe that the two shootings were related.

In one incident, a man in his 30s was shot multiple times on Mohawk Street in northeast Rochester around 12:15 a.m., Tauriello said. He ran from the scene and was found nearby on Portland Avenue. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, he said.

Several hours later, a man in his 40s was seriously wounded, when he was shot at least once in his upper body on Lake Avenue, near Lorimer Street, in Rochester around 5:15 a.m., Tauriello said. The man was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with injuries that were considered serious, but not life-threatening.

No charges have been filed in connection with either shooting. The shooting victims names were not released. Anyone with information about either shooting is asked to call 911.
