Allegany, NY: Police seek help finding shooter of UPS worker

This is so unfortunate to hear about these things happening in our community. I realize this is primarily for social functions, but this certainly would impact our social lives when there are shooters running loose.

Police are still searching for the man who shot a 25-year-old female UPS worker Monday in the UPS parking lot off East Union Street in Allegany.

Troopers are asking for the public’s help in tracking the gunman down. Anyone with information about the shooting or anyone who may have heard or seen something unusual early Monday morning near the UPS building is asked to call 373-2550.

The victim, Jessica Lawrence, 25, of Olean was shot twice in the arm. She was treated at Olean General Hospital and released. Ms. Lawrence is a loading dock supervisor at UPS in Allegany.

State Police Senior Investigator John Wolf is in charge of the investigation. He said this morning that troopers have no suspects yet.

“The investigation continues,” he said. “We’re running down some leads right now.”
