SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a 22-year-old man has died and another man is recovering after they were hit by gunfire on a Syracuse street.
Police officials say officers responded around 7 p.m. Monday to reports of shots fired on Martin Luther King East. When they arrived they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital, where he died a short time later.
