BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Police are investigating a shooting on Michigan Avenue early Sunday morning.
Officers were called to the scene, which was across the street from Club Marcella around 4:30am.
Detectives say two people, a 35-year-old male and a 26-year-old female, were shot while they were on the sidewalk.
They were taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Police did not release a motive, but say the "shooting is targeted in nature."
This is the third shooting in that area since January of this year.
A security guard was shot in the parking lot of Club Marcella in January and three people were shot inside the club back in February. In that shooting, a 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, and two others were injured. A 20-year-old man and 17-year-old male was arrested and charged in connection with the February shooting.
Following the shootings, owners of Club Marcella installed a 9-foot fence around the property, as well as security cameras.
