Officials for the Rochester School District have enhanced security efforts at all of the district’s high schools following a triple shooting that involved three students of the district, according to DemocratChronicle.com.
The shooting, which took place on Hudson Avenue on Sept. 11 around 8:45 p.m., resulted in the death of 12-year-old Camry McNight. Two others, 15-year-old Tyshawn Riggins and 13-year-old Dyquone Gamble were also injured in the incident.
Because the shooter is still at large, and all three students have ties to several schools in the district, Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard said the district will be on its guard throughout the city.
During the triple shooting, a male on a bicycle fired into the crowd. McNight, a seventh-grader at Dr. Freddie Thomas High School, was shot in the face. She died Sept. 12.
Riggins, a ninth grade student at John Marshall High School, was shot in the back and was said to be in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital. Gamble, a ninth-grader at Charlotte High School, was shot in the leg.
Police had previously described the shooter as a 17- to 20-year-old black male, wearing a red jersey with white lettering and sandals. On Sept. 12, police said they didn’t have an age estimate on the suspect.
