ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — The city of Rochester, New York, is dealing with more trauma after a shooting at a backyard party killed two teenagers and injured 14 others.

Police Capt. Frank Umbrino said 19-year-olds Jaquayla Young and Jarvis Alexander, died in the shooting that began just after 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

The others wounded have injuries not considered to be life-threatening. No arrests have been announced.
