(Buffalo, NY) AP 09/27/04 - One 16-year-old is dead and another is wounded and charged with armed robbery after gunfire erupted at a senior citizens' social club.
Buffalo police say the two teens entered the social club Friday night wearing masks and carrying a shotgun and pistol, and told five card-players not to move.
When the shotgun went off, a 64-year-old card player pulled out his handgun and fired, hitting one of the robbers. The robber's shotgun went off again and wounded his accomplice in the arm.
Police say 16-year-old Dwayne Rodgers of Buffalo was killed, and 16-year-old Warren Zontail was wounded and later charged with first-degree robbery and weapon possession.
The card player, whose name wasn't disclosed, wasn't charged.
