ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Gunfire at a backyard party killed two people and wounded 14 others early Saturday in Rochester, New York, a city that has been roiled in recent weeks by outrage over the suffocation death of Daniel Prude. As many as 100 people were at the gathering when the shooting started just before 12:30 a.m., Acting Police Chief Mark Simmons told reporters. The 14 wounded by gunfire were not believed to have life-threatening injuries. Before the call, police were not aware of the party and had received no complaints about noise, he said. Pastor Marlowe Washington told WROC-TV: “Whoever was the host of this party needs to be held accountable for this.”The wounded were being treated at local hospitals.
