Niagara Gazette, Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Feb. 18—Niagara Falls police are investigating a Wednesday night shooting incident that left a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds.

Officers were called to the 2900 block of 22nd Street about 6:15 p.m. for multiple calls of shots fired. Witnesses reported that two vehicles — a black Chevy Equinox and a pickup truck — were involved in the incident.

Several officers searched the area but found nothing. Police called local hospitals for any reports of gunshot victims but none were reported.

About 6:40 p.m., police were alerted that a 23-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds had just walked into Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. The victim, reportedly suffering from wounds to his back and right forearm, told officers that the shooting happened closer to Tennessee Avenue on the west of the street.

Returning officers found shell casings and live rounds in the street in front of 2938 22nd St. Crime Scene Unit investigators responded to take over the investigation.

  • California governor gets vaccine tour boost as recall looms

    California Gov.

It's a good showcase for the governor who is barely two years into his first term but has seen his popularity fall and a recall election become increasingly likely. The six-stop tour serves the dual purpose of informing the public about his administration's vaccination efforts while presenting a campaign-friendly image of an in-charge executive.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Questions If Free Robinhood Trades Are Really Free

    (Bloomberg) -- Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Robinhood Chief Executive Officer Vlad Tenev that his firm’s faulty business practices undercut its promise of free trades, while urging him to share revenue it makes selling stock orders with customers.“Robinhood owes its customers a lot more than an apology because it has harmed their interests,” the New York Democrat and progressive icon said by video at Thursday’s House Financial Services Committee hearing on wild market swings in shares of GameStop Corp. and other stocks. She accused Robinhood of providing investors poor execution and lost rebates, adding that that makes its popular app far from free.Tenev pushed back, arguing Robinhood’s platform has dramatically lowered the cost of trading for retail investors, something its been able to do by selling customers’ orders rather than charging commissions. He wouldn’t commit to sharing its proceeds from payment for order flow arrangements, adding that Robinhood needs to generate revenue because it’s a for-profit business.“Robinhood forced the entire industry to drop commissions and replicate our business model,” he said in an exchange that came five hours into the hearing.Read more: Robinhood, Citadel CEOs Spar With Lawmakers on Retail TradingOcasio-Cortez’s inquiry came just after her fellow Democrat and member of the so-called squad of progressives, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, said in a tense exchange with Citadel Founder Ken Griffin that taxing stock transactions would discourage dangerous speculation caused by high-frequency trading.Griffin disagreed, saying “a transaction tax will injure Americans hoping to save for retirement.”Read more: Citadel Is ‘Bigger Target’ for Griffin’s Washington ReturnFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

    Immigration enforcement in the U.S. would be more targeted under President Joe Biden than under his predecessor, with authorities directed to focus on people in the country illegally who pose a threat, according to guidelines released Thursday.

Under Biden, ICE would primarily apprehend and remove people who pose a threat to national security, committed crimes designated as “aggravated” felonies or recently crossed the border.
