BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to a shooting that took place at a Dollar General in Cheektowaga in 2017.
Travis Green, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Murder in the Second Degree (Class “B” violent felony). Green had previously been found incompetent to stay on trial three times.
In November of 2017, Green walked into the Dollar General on Union Road to request an employee application. Green reportedly became irate and went to the parking lot to get his high-powered rifle. He then shot multiple rounds into the front of the store while several people were inside.
One customer was shot. The 53-year-old man was taken to ECMC to be treated for his injuries in his shoulder and arm.
Green then ran from the scene and was arrested by Cheektowaga Police. Another high-powered rifle and more than 850 rounds of ammunition was found during a search of Green's vehicle.
Green faces 25 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced in July. Green remains being held without bail.
