I give up.

Wow. I heard tons of sirens a couple of hours ago. My son was on Park Ave shortly thereafter and said the cops killed some guy. The whole neighborhood was blocked off. My old neighborhood; we lived on Edgerton and Milburn for many years! We've thought it was all getting slightly sh*tty the past few years. I don't know what this clown did, and watch the vid. I can't tell if he shot first or what, but he be dead now. Can't wait to see who he was and what he did. No pics yet of him. My poor little yuppie hood. My son went to the elementary school on the right. :(

The large police investigation prompted a lockout at School No. 23.

The Rochester City School District said the lockout was a precautionary measure that prevents anyone from entering the building.

Police from multiple agencies were looking for the man, whose name was not released, to arrest him, said Rochester Police Lt. Greg Bello. When they found him on Milburn Street, matters quickly escalated with guns involved, Bello said.

Neighbor Alana Barend was inside her house on Edgerton
Street when she heard yelling and saw police chasing a man across the school parking lot and through the neighborhood. The man was limping or hobbling and wasn’t running fast, she and other witnesses said.

Multiple law enforcement agencies investigate the area of Milburn and Barrington streets, where officers shot and killed a man while trying to apprehend him Monday, March 20, 2023.

Barend lost sight of them as they headed down Milburn.

"About two minutes later, there were about five repetitive gunshots that went off,” she said.

School 23 fifth-grader Gemma DeLella was in math class when the announcement came over the intercom for teachers to lock their doors, instructing them that this was a real lockdown. She said she didn’t know right away what was happening.

“It was really scary,” she said, standing with her father, Chuck DeLella, after the all-clear was given and students were released to their parents. “A lot of kids in my class started crying because just the thought of not being able to wake up in my bed tomorrow morning is a lot. And not being able to say goodbye to my dad and my mom.”

Chuck DeLella said parents were alerted about 20 minutes before pickup and were told everyone was OK and the school was secure, “so there was less of that fear.”

Police fatally shoot man in Park Ave. neighborhood. What we know now​

Updated at 8:27 PM

A man believed to be involved in at least two recent gun-related incidents was fatally shot by police on Milburn Street in Rochester's Park Avenue neighborhood Monday afternoon, according to Rochester police.

Rochester Police Chief David Smith on Monday evening said that officers from several departments were searching for a man linked to two shooting incidents that took place since Friday within Monroe County, when Monroe County Sheriff's deputies located the man in Milburn Street around 1 p.m.

Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter described the fatal encounter as part of "an escalating case" that spanned several days.

Smith said the investigation started Friday night after someone fired multiple shots from a vehicle into a closed business in the 400-block of Monroe Avenue in Rochester around 10 p.m. No one was injured. Later that night, officers located the involved vehicle, unoccupied, on Milburn Street and recovered two weapons from the vehicle, which was towed from the scene.

Around 7 a.m. Monday, Smith said Brighton police handled a road rage incident that traveled through Brighton ending on Hemingway Drive, near Elmwood Avenue, where someone fired several shots and struck a vehicle. Police linked the suspect vehicle back to the same Milburn Street address, Smith said.

Two hours later, Brighton and Rochester police officers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle as the driver left Milburn Street and led police on a brief chase. Smith said officers quickly called off the pursuit on Interstate 590 due to unsafe speeds and reckless driving.

The same man returned to Milburn Street just before 1 p.m. and when deputies attempted to stop him on nearby Vassar Street, he displayed a large hunting-style knife and threatened deputies, Smith said. A deputy fired one shot as the man ran.

After a half-mile chase through yards in the neighborhood, the man pointed a shotgun at police, who fired at him multiple times, Baxter said. Before he was shot, police officers and deputies located about 15 feet away repeatedly told the man to drop the gun, police said.

Baxter said the man had returned to his car during the foot chase, retrieved a bag and ultimately produced a gun from the bag. Rochester Police Lt. Greg Bello said that the man was struck by several bullets and was pronounced dead at the scene.

No officers or bystanders were injured during the encounter.

Children at nearby School No. 23 on Barrington Street were on temporarily lockout. Several roads in the neighborhood have been blocked off as police investigated.

"This was not the result we were looking for or are ever looking for," Baxter said as he described officers and deputies as heroes who risk their lives each day.

Smith said the state Attorney General's Office will investigate the shooting and both the Rochester Police Department and Monroe County Sheriff's Office will conduct internal investigations to determine whether the involved officers and deputies followed departmental procedure, policy and training.

Smith declined to identify the slain man but said the man has a criminal history and was known to police. The involved officers were also not named.

Looks like it was a nice neighborhood, MzK. I love the tree-lined streets and those huge brick houses.

It still is very pretty. You should see some of the streets that have mansions. It's a small neighborhood, which is probably why there's never been much trouble there for the 50 years or so that I lived there. THEN the bad element found out about it, and so now........ not that it's horrible yet, but the pristine quality is gone. I'm betting this creep was just crashing with someone; he doesn't seem to have been the type that any landlord would want around. They interviewed some of the merchants on Park Ave today, and while they're not scared, they too lament the direction things seem to be going. It would be a tragedy if this neighborhood was no more. It's precious for a city these days.
