Early Sunday, a shooting at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park in Rochester, New York, left six individuals wounded. Authorities confirmed that none of the injuries are life-threatening.

Rochester Police Chief David Smith reported that the incident occurred around 2:45 am, when at least one individual fired into a crowd during a dispute. The victims include a 17-year-old boy, three men aged 18, 21, and 33, and two women aged 20 and 25.

While no arrests have been made concerning the shooting itself, a 38-year-old man was charged with multiple offenses, including second-degree assault, after allegedly fighting with police officers. One officer sustained injuries during the altercation and required medical treatment. 'When you have people actively fighting with officers who are trying to render medical attention, it becomes much more challenging,' Smith stated during a news conference.
