Two shot, two officers injured as violence escalates near Bailey Avenue police station
Two law enforcement officers were hit by a vehicle, two people were shot and police fired pepper balls at protesters Monday night over about a 90-minute period near the Northeast District police station.
A Buffalo police officer and a state trooper were hit by a car at about 9:40 p.m. in the vicinity of the station on Bailey Avenue near where protesters had gathered, two law enforcement sources said.
Police have taken three people into custody, the sources said.
Buffalo police are urging the public to avoid the area.
The officers were seriously injured and taken to Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo police spokesman Michael DeGeorge said in an email.
A video posted on Facebook Monday night by a former Buffalo police officer shows an SUV driving into a line of police officers. The incident happens close to the 10-minute mark in the video.
The incident happened after Buffalo police deployed pepper balls in dealing with protesters gathered outside the station, Capt. Jeff Rinaldo said.
Just before 9 p.m. Monday, police used loudspeakers to ask the crowd to leave the area around the station on Bailey Avenue, a WIVB-TV reporter posted on Twitter.
Some people started to throw rocks and water bottles in the direction of the police and officers started making arrests, the reporter posted on Twitter.
A short time after 9 p.m., an ambulance was dispatched to treat a police officer who suffered minor injuries during the exchange, Rinaldo said. Protesters also broke a window of a police vehicle, he reported.
At about 9:40 p.m., police and fire department radio transmissions indicated ambulances and firefighters were called for the report of multiple officers struck by a vehicle near Bailey and Connelly avenues.
Just before 10 p.m., fire department radio transmissions indicated two people with gunshot wounds were being taken from Connelly Avenue to a hospital.
No further details were immediately available about the shooting.
