A Buffalo cab driver was shot overnight, but the wound was not considered life-threatening.

Bryan Richards, 50, of Buffalo, was shot at about 1:45 a.m. near East North and Herman

streets by two men wearing black hoodies who attempted to rob him, officers said.

Richards was taken by Rural Metro ambulance to Erie County Medical Center, where he was

treated and later released. Police say the robbers had approached his vehicle, attempted to

open a car door or did open it as Richards pulled away.

At that point, the gunmen opened fire and Richards was wounded in the upper back. Anyone

with information is asked to call the Buffalo police confidential tip line, 847-2255.
