Sheriff's Office investigating report of a shot fired in the Pittsford Wegmans parking lot

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a report of a gunshot fired in the Pittsford Wegmans parking lot.

No one was injured, but the store was put on lockdown for a while as a precautionary measure.

Monroe County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Kevin Schoepfel told News 8-WROC that this incident happened just before 9:30 a.m., when someone in a car apparently fired one shot at someone in another vehicle. 

“Our preliminary investigation revealed the victim was sitting in the parking lot waiting for his grocery delivery, and another vehicle pulled up, fired one shot at the victim," Schoepfel said. "He was not struck, nor were any bystanders in the parking lot." 

Deputies have released security camera video of a vehicle that they think is related to the investigation, but there were no other immediate details on which direction that vehicle went after the shot was fired. 

Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies are looking for information in connection with a report of a gunshot fired in the parking lot of the Pittsford Wegmans' store on Wed., 4/24/24. They released photos of a vehicle that they say is related to the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Wegmans employees did a good job in handling the initial situation, Schoepfel said.
 
“I talked to some of the staff here, they did a great job calming people and just getting them to a place of relative safety where they were away from the front of the store, away from the windows," he said. "They had the building locked so nobody could get in or out. They did a good job, trying to put everybody’s mind at ease."
