Syracuse Police are investigating after one person is reported dead and another suffered a leg injury in a shooting near a home on Hope Avenue in Syracuse Wednesday evening.

According to reports, two suspects dumped their car and fled into Oakwood Search resulting in what is being considered an active search and homicide investigation.

Because of the closeness to the school, Syracuse University issued an Orange Alert which warned students of the off-campus investigation and recommended that they stay indoors and not let anybody in.

As of 10:56 PM, the Alert was lifted, but authorities still have not been able to find the suspects, who shot at two police officers in two separate encounters.

No officers have been reported injured at this time.

With Halloween quickly approaching, Lieutenant Zachary Misztal, from the Oswego Police Department has offered some tips to make your Trick- or- Treating more enjoyable. Lieutenant. Misztal provided a list of ways adults can follow to make their children’s experience much better.

• Children should have reflectors on their Halloween buckets.
• Facial makeup is better than masks so those who are giving out candy can see children’s faces.
• Costumes should be looser fitted children can wear warmer clothing underneath.
• Children should always be accompanied with an adult.
• Know your Trick-or-Treat route.
• Have a safety plan incase you get separated from the group.
• Only go to houses that are well lit.
• Check your child’s candy, if it looks suspicious or unwrapped throw it out.

The Recent trend of people dressed up in clown costumes around the nation has caused panic and fear in communities. “Children can dress up in clown costumes, they just have to be responsible with it,” said Lieutenant Misztal.

The Oswego State men’s lacrosse team defeated the Keuka College Wolves 17-6 on Saturday. With the victory, the Lakers move to 5-1 overall while the Wolves drop to 3-2.

Oswego got off to a strong start in the first half, scoring six goals apiece during the first and second quarters. At halftime, they held a 12-2 lead and a large 31-9 shot advantage. Tim Schof led the Lakers with four goals while Kyle Bacon scored three of his own. Keuka scored three straight goals in the third in what possibly looked like a run but Caleb Alford’s goal ended any momentum the Wolves had.

Oswego’s Kevin O’Donnell stopped six shots in the first half before giving way to Brody Carter and Harrison Levy. Carter and Levy made a combined seven saves.

The Lakers’ next game is scheduled for this Wednesday at 4:00 when they take on Utica College at home. This will also be the team’s St. Baldrick’s Foundation community service event.
