I don\u2019t ever recall hearing something like this ever happening,\u201d Commissioner Gramaglia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wivb.com\/news\/crime\/sniper-rifle-falls-off-roof-during-buffalo-st-patricks-day-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sniper-rifle-falls-from-roof-at-st-patricks-day-parade\" title=\"Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick's Day Parade\">photo<\/a> from the incident, an officer is depicted looking over the edge of the building at a gun on the ground, which just barely missed parade goers and a hotdog stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf protocol was followed and yet that still happened then we have to look into other policies and procedures to make sure nothing like this ever happens again,\u201d Commissioner Gramaglia added. \u201cI would be confident saying the best and most thorough planning for an event that we had. This is something that occurred. This is not a lack of planning. We have to look at protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, no one was harmed during the incident and law enforcement has given assurance that the rifle would never have fired from the fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/attorney-barry-covert-order-protection-can-backdoor-gun-confiscation\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sniper-rifle-falls-from-roof-at-st-patricks-day-parade\" title=\"Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick's Day Parade\">Barry Covert<\/a> says a civil lawsuit is unlikely because with no injuries comes no damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/pennsylvania-bill-serialized-ammo-encoded-ammunition-database\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sniper-rifle-falls-from-roof-at-st-patricks-day-parade\" title=\"Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick's Day Parade\">Proposed Pennsylvania Bill Would Require Serialized Ammo, Encoded Ammo Database<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven if the protocols were followed, it still is negligence that it was set up in this manor on a windy day that allowed the wind gust to carry it over the edge of the building,\u201d Covert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Commissioner Gramaglia, the rifle fell from the building as a Buffalo SWAT officer conducted routine surveillance on top of a building on Delaware Avenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw one picture so I am not sure who was visible on that. Like I said, we do have someone up there with the weapon officer on observation,\u201d Commissioner Gramaglia told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wivb.com\/news\/crime\/sniper-rifle-falls-off-roof-during-buffalo-st-patricks-day-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sniper-rifle-falls-from-roof-at-st-patricks-day-parade\" title=\"Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick's Day Parade\"><em>News 4<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A witness says the incident took place before the parade made it to the intersection near where the gun fell. The witness also stated the rifle was left unattended shortly before a gust of wind blew the gun, tripod, and weighted bag from the top of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffalo police agree with the witness and are looking into wind being a contributing factor in the accident and an internal investigation has been ordered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffalo Police officers managed to safely recover the rifle without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sniper-rifle-falls-from-roof-at-st-patricks-day-parade\" title=\"Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick's Day Parade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortunately, no one was harmed during the incident and law enforcement has given assurance that the rifle would never have fired from the fall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":177358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-177340","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-current-events","8":"category-this-week","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sniper Rifle Falls from Roof at St. Patrick&#039;s Day Parade<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A police sniper rifle blew off the edge of a building on Sunday during Buffalo&#039;s St. Patrick&#039;s Day Parade.
