East Community High School student attacked at MLK Park in Buffalo

“This is a community crisis and the entire community must become part of the solution because this kind of senseless violence has no place in our community. The district is actively supporting the Buffalo Police Department’s investigation into a horrific attack that occurred after school at MLK Park to ensure those responsible are held legally accountable. Chief Inspector Dr. Williams Knight is fully aware of the attack that occurred yesterday afternoon at MLK Park and is shocked! The district will therefore take as strong action as possible against the alleged perpetrators. Because it was a targeted attack, the district is once again calling on students to speak up if they see or hear anything. We wish the victim and the family our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery. Chief Inspector Dr. Williams Knight will be contacting the victim’s family.”
