LOCKPORT, N.Y. — City of Lockport Police are investigating a shooting that happened Monday afternoon near the intersection of Erie and Walnut streets.
2 On Your Side was given permission to use Nest cam footage that shows the incident. In the video you see a car spinning out on Walnut Street and at least two people getting out of the car and running away.
The Lockport School District was on lockdown due to the shooting incident. The school district released the following statement on its website:
Lockport City School District on Monday, October 19, 2020. Due to a potentially dangerous situation outside of our schools and in our community, the District will activate its emergency dismissal plan today. All buildings will dismiss at the normal time. Busses will run on a normal schedule and you encourage to pick up your child at the bus stop. As a precautionary measure, walkers must be picked up by a parent. Students will remain in the building until a parent arrives to pick them up.
2 On Your Side spoke with neighbors near the scene where police investigated for hours, one who wished to remain anonymous said they heard at least ten gunshots.
"I had just gotten off the phone and I heard gunshots," they said. "I'm a hunter I know what gunshots sound like they weren't firecrackers. After that that's when I came outside I noticed there was a car at the end of the street and pretty much that's when police showed up."
A lieutenant with Lockport Police said no one was injured in the shooting and police are investigating whether the incident is connected to the fatal shooting that happened at a Halloween party early Saturday morning.
