Rochester police are investigating an alleged attempted burglary and shooting involving an off-duty police officer on South Avenue Monday.

Police said they responded to a burglary-in-progress call early Monday morning at 436 South Ave. in the city.

One person was shot at the scene, said police spokeswoman Jacqueline Shuman. Further details were not released.

However, police did say the off-duty Rochester police officer involved in the incident was not the person shot.

The person who was shot was taken to an area hospital. That person is currently undergoing surgery, Shuman said.

The house at 436 South Ave was purchased by Anthony Bongiovanni, a city employee, in 2012.

A heavy police presence formed in the area of South Avenue, near Comfort and Alexander streets, early Monday. Streets were temporarily blocked.
