🌱 Schiller Park Shooting + Free Bus Service To Erie County Parks

Hello again, hello! It's me, Dan Casarella, your host of the Buffalo Daily. Let's get this Tuesday started off right, with a quick review of the most important things happening in town.

First, today's weather:

Clouds and sun. High: 79 Low: 63.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Buffalo who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Buffalo Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Buffalo today:

1. On Sunday night, a 23-year-old man died after being shot several times in Buffalo's Schiller Park. The unidentified man was shot on Navel Avenue, off Bailey Avenue, and was pronounced dead on the scene. No arrests have been made in connection with this shooting. (WKBW 7 News Buffalo)
2. This summer, NFTA-Metro will be offering free bus services to Erie County area parks. On Saturdays, Buffalo residents can get on one of these buses at the downtown bus station on 181 Ellicott Street at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:15 p.m. Parks served included Knox Farm State Park, Chestnut Ridge Park, Fort Niagara State Park, Como Lake Park, Beaver Island State Park, Akron Falls Park, and Evangola State Park.
