DEBLASIO’S NYC: 18 Shot Overnight, Including Mass Shootign Which Left 10 Shot


The NYPD reported that 18 people were shot around NYC in the span of 24 hours on Saturday in six shooting incidents. One of those incident involved a coordinated attack which left 10 people shot.

The NYPD says that two men strode up to a crowd outside a barbershop in the New York City borough of Queens and opened fire, wounding 10 people before fleeing on mopeds, police said Sunday morning.

The shooting in the borough’s Corona neighborhood took place just before 11 p.m. Saturday. The eight men and two women, who range in age from 19 to 72, were all hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. The most seriously injured victim suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.

Police said the two gunmen arrived at the scene on foot, but left by jumping on the backs of two mopeds driven by two other men. All four were wearing hooded sweatshirts, police said.

Three of those shot were known members of the Trinitarios, a Dominican street gang, and were the intended targets, Essig said. A party was in progress at a restaurant a few doors down from the barbershop at the time of the shooting, he added.

“This was a brazen, coordinated attack, for lack of a better word,” Essig said. “This is unacceptable, and it has to stop.”

  1. Biden is right. We have a serious whiteness problem in America. As we see, here in NYC, white supremacy is out of control. Blacks are afraid to leave their apartments, knowing that some white supremacist is lurking around the corner. When will Mrs. Emhoff get serious?
