9 shot at a party on Syracuse’s Near West Side; teen in critical condition

A flurry of gunshots wounded at least nine people at an outdoor party with hundreds on Syracuse’s Near West Side Saturday night, including a 17-year-old boy who is in critical condition.

Police Chief Kenton Buckner said at least nine were wounded and taken to Upstate Medical University after the shootings near Fayette and Wyoming streets. The boy was shot in the head, police said.

A video posted to Facebook appears to capture more than 25 shots that scattered the crowd.

A witness said the shooting occurred at an annual outdoor gathering called “Rye Day,” which features a DJ. Several hundred people crowded into a square near the WCNY building to enjoy the music, cookout and festivities. The event was scheduled to end at 9 p.m.

About 15 minutes before the event was to end, the music abruptly stopped, the witness said. Then he heard at least 12 shots and people scattered.

A crowd of people ran northeast from the square. The witness saw a man sitting on his knees holding his chest with two hands. He wore a blue-striped shirt and jeans. He encouraged the man to get up and keep running.

I said, ‘Come on, man, we gotta go. They’re shooting,” the witness said. “He said, ‘I can’t, man, I got shot.’ So he just sat there waiting for help.”

Suddenly at least 10 police cars were racing to the scene, the witness said.

The mayor of Seattle is a stupid fool. She takes away any form of self defense for cops and then says they should have entered the Commie zone.

"Rye Day is the creation of Ryedell Davis, who has had a raucous birthday party for 14 years near Martin Luther King Boulevard and South State Street, said his mother, Annetta Peterson."

Has it been that long? I would not have guessed.

Mrs. Child and I were talking while enjoying our evening adult beverage and I commented that it's been 20 years since our daughter left home. Doesn't seem it.

I thought the same thing. When I was in HS and college it was pretty easy to find a slim girt to date. I think they are an endangered species now. Be pretty slim pickings for me if I was a college student now. A slim girl who's not a SJW leftist wack a doodle? Can't be many of them.
