SCHENECTADY — Schenectady police are investigating a shooting tonight on Victory Street that left one man wounded.

The man, who witnesses said appeared to be in his early 20s, was apparently shot following an argument about 8:15 p.m.

The man sustained what appeared to be a leg injury, but Schenectady police Sgt. Matthew Dearing said the wound did not appear to be life-threatening. Dearing said the victim was taken to Albany Medical Center as a precaution.

According to police radio transmissions, a lone shooter fired at the victim, then ran down Victory Street toward Close Street. The victim apparently walked to the nearby Mohawk Ambulance station on State Street for help.

A witness said she drove by and saw the victim lying on the ground, while another woman said she heard two men arguing in the street, followed by six gunshots.

Police had marked at least three spots with markers as part of their investigation, which continued late into the evening. No further information, including the victim’s identity, was available.

Oh sure, there is crime in other places, sure      But the FACT and the TRUTH is that crime in Schenectady is going up and up because the tax dollars are not used for better police protection and such.   The tax dollars are given to the millionaires downtown.   In return, they have a smal handlful of low wage jobs

if he was only shot in the leg he may yet stand a chance at a football career.....oh, wait,,,,if you have dogs for fighting and status, you too could
be an allstar......lets hear it for the media and the leaders of our minds....
