At about 1:15 this morning, Rochester police say they were called to South Clinton Avenue near Meigs Street for a report of gunfire. Officers arrived to find a 20-year-old city man who had been shot in the upper body. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital where his injuries were described as life threatening. Police are asking anyone with information about this crime to please call 911. South Clinton is closed between Gregory and Meigs Streets until further notice.

Two other people were shot overnight in separate incidents. Police say one was on Clifford Avenue. The 22-year-old victim made his own way to Rochester General Hospital and is being treated for his injuries.

And police went to Lake Avenue for a report of gunshots...but found the victim had gone to the hospital in a private car. The victim...a 23-year-old city woman...is expected to recover.

All three investigations are ongoing.
