Henrietta, N.Y. — Police are looking for a suspect after a U.S. Postal Service employee was shot in the parking lot of the agency’s main Rochester facility on Jefferson Road in Henrietta early Thursday.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to the facility around 12:40 a.m. for a report of a person shot.
Deputies found the victim, who had been shot by an unknown suspect who drove away before they arrived, according to Deputy David Marcucci.
Preliminary evidence indicates the victim was seated in his personal vehicle when the suspect opened fire, striking both the victim and the vehicle. The suspect then left in their vehicle prior to deputies arriving.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Marcucci, and was released.
Marcucci said there was no evidence of an ongoing threat to public safety, and the facility has resumed normal business operations as the investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
