BUFFALO - Two people are dead and another is hospitalized following two separate shootings in Buffalo this weekend.
Police say a bloodied 21-year-old man arrived at a firehouse at around 12:20 a.m. Sunday and told firefighters he'd been shot.

Buffalo Police spokesman Michael DeGeorge says the man was brought to an area hospital where he later died.

A 16-year-old was killed and an 18-year-old was injured in a separate shooting at around 10:50 p.m. Saturday.

Police say the two were hit by gunfire that started after a fight erupted outside a party that had just ended.

Police say both were brought to a hospital, and the 18-year-old remained there in stable condition Sunday.

None of the victims' identities has been released.
