A police officer in Rochester, N.Y., was shot Tuesday while responding to a report of a man with a gun attempting to enter a home, his department says.
Rochester Police Capt. Mark Mura told reporters that the incident happened around 8 a.m. in the city's west side.
"When the officer arrived, immediately upon his arrival he was fired at by a suspect [and was] struck at least one time in the upper body," Mura said.
