Schenectady – City police are investigating a shooting that happened Thursday night on Moyston Street and left a man with non-life-threatening injuries.
Sgt. Nick Mannix said a call about a shooting came in about 9:14 p.m., with police arriving shortly after. At 9:46 a man entered Ellis Hospital with gunshot wounds. Mannix said the man was later transferred to Albany Medical Center. It’s unclear if he is still at Albany Med. The age of the man and where he was shot has not been released
“I don’t think we’re releasing any of that information at this time,” he said.
This will be the first summer that the ban will be in effect in Albany County. Sales are permitted in Saratoga County, which was among the first to authorize sales in 2015, as well as Rensselaer County, which approved their sale the same year. (However, chronic complaints last summer prompted city of Troy Mayor Patrick Madden to ask residents to reconsider using the legal devices.)
Setting off fireworks is a violation-level offense in the city of Schenectady and offenders risk a $250 fine. But solutions remain elusive.
Following chronic complaints, police boosted patrols during peak hours last summer and designated special teams to respond to calls.
