Buffalo homicide investigators are assisting in the probe of an early afternoon shooting Monday that occurred near Olympic and Alma avenues.

Northeast District officers answered a “shots fired” call at about 12:45 p. m. Wounded was 17-year-old Gregory K. Young of Butler Avenue.

Young had been struck in the back and right leg before driving himself to Erie County Medical Center, where he underwent surgery Monday afternoon. Authorities say they are looking at the possibility that the shooting was prompted by a dispute involving Young and at least one other individual who pulled out the gun and started shooting.

Young’s condition was not available late Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police confidential tip line at 847-2255.
