i dont hear anything about ....

Whoah! :shock: Hope he's in a better condition by now. :fingersx:
 
i heard that the shooter was hearing person and he got angry because he couldn't get in somethnig like that
 
yes, the shooter is hearing stranger ... i dunno the part about he couldn't get in somethnig like that ... but i know he got mad that he ran into wrong guy who dont have a money ... stupid!
 
I work for a college police department (University of Rhode Island) and right now, this angers me. 1 reason, why do things have to turn out so violently? There are very few things that I would want to kill another person for (like raping or killing a friend). Shooting a person for stupid reasons...ugh!

I really hope that the person shot will make a 100% recovery. I really hope that person or people that were involved in the shooting are caught and prosecuted to the maximum the law will allow. This is a college campus where people are suppose to be learning, not being shot.

Love and peace to everyone.:grouphug:

Police Search for Suspects

Victim, Witnesses to shooting are Deaf
Rochester Police are asking the public for any details about a shooting that happened early Sunday morning. The victim remains in critical condition at Rochester General Hospital.
Rochester police answered a call for a shooting on North Street around 5:30 Sunday morning. They found Michael Ostrowski, 26, lying on the ground. He had been shot several times.

Many of the witnesses to the shooting are deaf. That made initial questioning by police very difficult.

Police say the victim was taking money at the door for a large party inside the house.

Police believe the two suspects sneaked into the party but were escorted outside, possibly by Ostrowski. Witnesses tell police the two men called Ostrowski out to the sidewalk.

One pulled out a gun and fired eight to ten times. Ostrowski was hit four times and rushed to Rochester General Hospital with severe injuries.

The suspects ran away. The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community Liaison for the Rochester Police Department was called to the scene.

Police say it also took a while for interpreters to arrive. Officers were forced to communicate with partygoers by using pen and paper.

Police officials admit this impacted the initial search for the shooter.

"Anytime the communication process is delayed we have to take into account the fact that that is time the investigation is delayed also,” said Sgt. Carlos Garcia, of the Rochester Police Department.

The police department is working on training more people to use American Sign Language.

Police are looking for the two men responsible. If you have any information you're urged to call 911.
 
i pray for the speedy recovery for the victim of the shooting -- this is a VERY horrible incident and so sad :( --

i also pray for the arrests of the 2 ppl responsible for this shooting and be tried for this shooting to happen SOON --

i am a former RIT student and this is the WORST case that i have heard of and Prostock is right -- Colleges should be a place of learning --

:grouphug: and God bless the victim and his family and pray for his speedy recovery
 
I was shocked :jaw: when I read all those informations. Mike sounds familiar to me so I am wondering if anyone knows what year he is in and where he comes from and wondering if anyone has a pic of him because I would like to know who he is because I went to RIT and i was SVP 97.... I am so tired of having those problems going on like twice was done before in GALLY now again recently at RIT shessh I hate this. Why can't ANYONE who are stupid and crazy :crazy: just leave them alone and let them be whoever they are! DAMN :mad2: Hope everyone is handling very well and I hope Mike feels all better :grouphug: to u all!!!!

Shooting victim was a doorman at
party


Democrat and Chronicle

(April 15, 2003) — Rochester police have identified the man shot at a
party on North Street Sunday morning as Michael Ostrowski, 26, of
Rochester.

Sgt. Carlos Garcia said Ostrowski was acting as a doorman at a private
party about 5:40 a.m. when two men shot him four times with a
large-caliber gun. Police suspect the shooters may have been attempting
to rob Ostrowski.

He was taken to Rochester General Hospital, where he was listed in
guarded condition.

Garcia said the party organizers had the appropriate permits to host the
gathering, which he said was related to the area’s deaf community.
