Personnel from several area law enforcement agencies were at what appears to be a crime scene at Pete’s Grocery and Deli and Wine and Liquor at 805 W. Buffalo St., Ithaca on Tuesday evening.

Officers came to the scene at about 5 p.m. apparently responding to a report of shots fired. Two Bangs Ambulance vehicles subsequently left the scene in the direction of Cayuga Medical Center. Officers taped off the scene extensively and appeared to be questioning people inside the store.

One of the objects of the officers’ investigation was a green passenger van on the grass near the store with its doors open. The van appeared to have been driven up onto the grass, with tracks on the grass leading from the pavement.

Agencies on the scene included the Ithaca Police Department, New York State Police, State Parks Police and the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office. The Ithaca Police Department SWAT van was on the scene, its lights illuminating the area. State police investigators joined Ithaca Police Chief Ed Vallely and deputy chiefs John Barber and Pete Tyler at the scene.

A total of 10 police vehicles were at the scene this evening. Some were parked along West Buffalo Street; others had blocked traffic on Taughannock Avenue.
It appeared that some customers were inside Pete’s and some were being escorted from the store by police officers.
