Second Buffalo Shooting in as Many Days

Hopes for a less violent 2021 and winter could potentially be dashed. This is the second shooting in two days, this week alone. On Sunday, a South Buffalo man was fatally shot, on January 10, 2021, according to WGRZ. That shooting came on the heels of a murder-suicide in South Buffalo.  These incidents of violence are disheartening to me.
