| Description | Buffalo police probationary officer Dante LaMarti was off-duty and drinking when he shot a 22-year-old woman in the leg. LaMarti and the injured woman were at the home of Lancaster police officer John LaPiana when the shooting took place. OutcomeThe Buffalo police department has said that Internal Affairs is involved so that the department can investigate itself, while officer LaMarti is on PAID leave. LaMarti is refusing interviews with police and prosecutors. The Lancaster police officer was originally placed on PAID administrative leave and was then terminated. The State Division of Criminal Justice Services confirmed Officer John Lapiana was removed for cause on July 11. Lapiana's removal means he's no longer eligible to serve as a police officer anywhere in New York State. |
