SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a 20-year-old man has died and a 17-year-old girl is recovering after they were hit by gunfire in separate shootings on Christmas Eve.

Officials say the first shooting occurred around 3:15 p.m. Sunday on Temple Street. When officers arrived on the scene they found a man suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen.

He was taken to Upstate University Hospital, where he later died of his injuries. His name hasn't been released.
