Luckily, it seems that officers might be able to get a good idea of what happened thanks to a doorbell camera that was recording on Howard Street near the bar.

The video, which was posted to social media by Cheektowaga Scanner, shows two people running away with one firing shots from a handgun of some sort. In the frame, there is a woman who falls to the ground during the volley of shots. The woman then gets up as another few rounds are fired by the gunman. In the video, it appears that at least 10 rounds were fired.

Officers are asking if there is any information about these shootings, or any other crime information, for you to please call or text the confidential tip line at 716-847-2255, or call 911.
