ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Rochester Police said a man was shot and a woman was assaulted after the Puerto Rican Festival on Saturday night. Despite the violence, no one was seriously injured, and two people were arrested, officials said.
The city ordered businesses on North Clinton Avenue to close by 4 p.m. Saturday due to safety concerns. Most businesses complied with the order. Those who did not risked arrest and a misdemeanor charge.
Several business owners expressed frustration over the city’s decision, stating they lost money due to the early closure.
“He lost money, he lost money, I lost money… it’s too many businesses,” one business owner said.
“We don’t ask for much. If we had a place where we could go and park, and an empty lot. There’s ways around it,” another business owner said.
Rochester police reported that no enforcement of the business closure order was necessary.
