UPDATE 5:30 p.m.: Medics are transporting to UMMC a 45-year-old male who was pepper sprayed in the face and a 16 50-year-old male who was shot in the chest with a BB gun.
UPDATE 6:44 p.m.: Batavia Police Chief Shawn Heubusch at the scene said the call that came in was for a fight involving about 30 people, including the possible use of weapons. Police responded and the incident involved a number of mostly juveniles. Some adults, possibly parents, were also at the scene. At least one adult male was Tazed and another adult male -- or possibly even the same one -- was pepper sprayed by police. A witness said initially, before officers arrived, there was shouting, some individuals took their shirts off, then fighting ensued. Police arrived shortly thereafter, along with medics, and the city fire department responded to a cooking incident -- stove fire that spread to a wall -- that occurred during the ruckus. Heubusch said a press release is being prepared and will be released later.
