BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Police said a man and child were shot Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting happened just before 4 p.m. on the first block of Decker Street.
Police said the man, 32, is in stable condition at ECMC, and his 2-year-old daughter is listed in stable condition at Oishei Children's Hospital.
"The father and the daughter were innocent victims. In this case, they were shot through a fence," Buffalo Police commissioner Joe Gramaglia said Wednesday during a news conference. "So clearly, there's really not a lot that they could have seen when you're on the other side of a fence.
"But here we are another child in the City of Buffalo that's been shot, and we need some justice for this. You've got people that are firing weapons, randomly firing weapons, and you look at the results of what can happen there."
Anyone with information is asked to call or text the Confidential TIPCALL Line at (716) 847-2255.
