A June Graduate of Rochester’s School of the Arts was shot Tuesday night during a block party for incoming freshmen at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Elyse Spencer is one of four people shot when they were caught in a crossfire between two groups that pulled out guns. Atlanta Police say neither of the people hit were intended targets. All are recovering.

According to a Facebook post from Mayor Lovely Warren, Spencer was a CIty Hall intern who “touched so many lives at City Hall and beyond.” Warren said Spencer’s family is by her side.
