This is absolutely infuriating.
First responders now CAN’T PASS Abbott Road near Lake Ave. in Orchard Park as tractor trailers trying to move keep getting stuck.
Abbott Rd has been THE MAIN pass for emergency crews.

It’s unreal what happened in our community today.

I’m having such a hard time processing.

After the shooting at Tops, I spoke with a victim's daughter who said -- & often repeats -- we all cry the same tears.
She means that it doesn't matter who we are, where we're from, what we like -- we're all the same. We're all human.
This morning, we're all with Damar.
