BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A city of Buffalo employee was fatally shot and two others were wounded when the city pickup truck they were in was struck by gunfire from a passing vehicle. New York State Police say the shooting occurred in the southbound lanes of Interstate 190 just north of downtown Buffalo at 11:20 a.m. Thursday. No arrests have been made and state police are searching for a dark-colored Jeep Grand Cherokee believed involved in the shooting. Mayor Byron Brown says the victims were employees of the Buffalo Sewer Authority and had just finished a job when they were shot as they drove back to the Sewer Authority building.
