At least 13 people shot, stabbed or hit by cars at Syracuse street party
2023-06-12
Summer fun!
[NYPOST] At least 13 people were shot, stabbed or struck by fleeing cars at a massive street party in Syracuse early Sunday, police and a local report said.
And a wonderful time was had by all.
Hundreds of people were gathered on the 100 block of Davis Street in the city’s west side when gunfire rang out at 12:22 a.m., Syracuse police spokesman Lt. Matthew Malinowski said in a press release.

Police said four people were shot, six were stabbed or cut and three who were hit by vehicles driving away from the mayhem, police said.

The injured included three men and 10 women ranging in age from 17 to 25. All were expected to survive, Malinowski said.

Victims were either found at the scene or at area hospitals, Malinowski added.

The crowd had gathered for a block party advertised on social media, Syracuse.com reported. A neighbor told the outlet a fight broke out just before midnight, but ended quickly, before another scuffle erupted about 20 minutes later — and dozens of gunshots rang out.

Those shot included: a 17-year-old girl hit in the hip and midsection; a 20-year-old woman struck in the hip; a 20-year-old man hit in the forearm and a 22-year-old woman hit in the abdomen.

Who I saw... 'twas the wife of the reeve,
Drunk, outside of the gaol
With a leek at her tail,
'Neath her wimple a wilted-ass weave!
'Twas all askew, like. Shallots, sayeth she. Sure, and I'm the Queen of Sheba! Scallions. Probably not even organic."

#11  One man's chaotic mayhem is another man's live action role-play of Grand Theft Auto.
Back in the day, we used to have Renaissance Festivals with jousting and personal combat. It was a kinder gentler time, when people wore onions on their belts.

#10  I lived in Cleveland for 4 years in the late 70s and it was a garden spot compared to Rochester / Syracuse / Erie.

#9  The little corner store in the photos at the link is Yusuf Market, LLC, which may or may not indicate the ethnicity of the community.

According to Zillow, properties in the 100 block of Davis street are freestanding wooden houses built in the early 1920s and broken up into apartments selling — or failing to sell — between $6,000 and $50,000, though both Zillow and the Syracuse tax department value them higher. Lots of empty lots priced upward of $1,000. One can see that it was originally a very pleasant neighbourhood.

#5  With that listing of mayhem, my first thought was were they filming a backyard faux wrestling video?

#4  /\ Some Amish people do not particularly like to be photographed. This probably accounts for the lack of fotos.
