Shooting Situation In Bath In The Early Morning Hours 

It happened in the 1am hour this morning.  Mayor Michael Sweet says it happened on Roosevelt Avenue.  Scanner audio indicates that the suspect walked in out of the house in Bath, a house surrounded by law enforcement.  The suspect was said to have a gun, and scanner audio indicated that law enforcement placed a cell phone on the suspect’s porch and that the suspect came out and shot the cell phone.  At one point, scanner chatter was about how the suspect  went into the backyard, and there were shots fired.   Quote: “One down.  Suspect down.  Suspect in custody.  Suspect in custody.”  Then law enforcement checked to find out if the ambulance crew was okay to go in and pick the suspect up.  Shortly after that, the okay was given for the ambulance crew to go in, and that was the end of the scanner chatter about that.  We’re told this morning by the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department that the state police handled the case.      

 

UPDATE 1:15PM - State Police held a press confernce at 1pm today.  At that press conference, State Police said that the suspect, whose name was not released yet, is in stable condition at a Rochester hospital.  Troopers say they shot the suspect in the 1am hour, after he opened fire on them first, with a shotgun.  Troopers say the suspect was shot once in the leg.  Troopers also say that law enforcement showed up originally, because of a report about an alleged domestic dispute between a man and a woman at that address, 6664 Roosevelt Avenue in Bath.   Troopers said they were assisted by the Steuben County Sheriff's Dept and Bath Village Police.

 

UPDATE  4:25pm 

From Bath Police Chief Colin Taft:  "The Village of Bath Police Dept responded to assist the NYSP with a domestic incident with shots fired on Roosevelt Ave. in the Town of Bath yesterday at the same time as their first units. After being shot at our officers maintained a primary perimeter for many hours until being relieved around 10:45 pm. No Bath PD officer fired any shots in the incident.
