Sheriff's Deputies Sweep Gowanda for a Small Girl Running and Yelling Along Chestnut

A five- or six-year-old in a black-and-pink outfit was reported unaccompanied between Chestnut Street and Commercial.

At 2:23 PM, Cattaraugus County Sheriff's deputies were sent to run down a small child seen alone in downtown Gowanda — a girl five or six years old with black hair, in a black-and-pink outfit, described by callers as running and yelling somewhere between Chestnut Street and Commercial.

Deputies treated the call as a possible endangered child from the outset, expanding the search perimeter block by block as more sightings came in over roughly four minutes of steady traffic. No caretaker had come forward on the air, and no reunification had been announced before the window closed at 3:00 PM.

At 12:38 PM, Salamanca Fire crews were called to the parking lot of Salamanca Rehab & Nursing at 451 Broad Street for a man overdosed on heroin and not breathing on arrival.

That the overdose landed in the lot of a rehab facility itself was noted in passing on the channel.

Traffic ran roughly twenty-three minutes before units made entry, with a Twin City Ambulance medic staged outside. The subject's condition on entry was not stated on the air before the thread moved on.

At 12:16 PM, Buffalo Police on the C-through-E side flagged for officer safety a pair of Dodge Chargers racing side by side eastbound on East Sutherland, disappearing across the city line into Cheektowaga at speed.
