Two Men Shot & Injured Near East End Nightclub

Rochester Police say two men were shot in the city’s East End neighborhood early Friday morning.

It happened around 2:00 a.m. as patrons were leaving the Magic City Club on Lawrence Street, and walked to the parking lot across the street. Officers say at that point, someone fired shots, possibly from inside a car, hitting each of the two men.

Each man suffered a non-life threatening wound and were taken to Strong Hospital. They are both city residents, one is 23, the other 24 years old.

A number of police officers were called to the scene to help with the orderly dispersal of the crowd leaving the club. Anyone with information is asked to call 911
