MAN SHOT DURING DRUG TURF GUNFIGHT

Rochester police say a man was shot Tuesday night in a turf battle between 
drug dealers.

Capt. Bob Johansson said a group of men were selling marijuana at the 
corner of Conkey and Nelson streets when another man approached them and 
told them to leave "because he had to make a living too."

The suspect pulled a handgun and struck one of the men standing at the 
corner in the head. The rest ran. The suspect began shooting at the fleeing 
men and hit one in the leg and in the head. The names of the victims were 
not released. The injuries were not life threatening, police said.
