James Essig said :
“This was a brazen, coordinated attack, for lack of a better word. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop.”
“There’s just one common theme, I want to get out there, that’s a recurring theme that keeps happening, and it has to stop throughout the city. That’s gang members; that’s guns, multiple guns on the scene, scooters being used, masks; and lastly, unintended targets getting hit. This is unacceptable on our streets in New York City, and it has to stop.”
“Trust me when I tell you, if you allow gangs to get footholds in this city, we have a real problem,” New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams said. “This is a crisis.”
There were no suspects in custody as of Sunday morning, according to police.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting or the suspects to contact @NYPDTips, or call them at 800-577-TIPS.
There were 18 people killed or wounded in seven separate shootings in New York City on Saturday, the New York Daily News reported.

NYC is getting exactly what they voted for! Couldn’t be happier for them!!
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do >> http://WWW.NETPAY1.COM
“This is just unacceptable & it has to stop!” Now picture saying it with a lispe & in a high, almost fallseto voice because that is exactly how the gang banger thugs will take it.
The same punishment for them ..the ten people get to open fire on them. that should be our law. what punishment you hand down to others illegally should be their punishment. Done by the person you punished or a relative if you murdered their love one. that is pure justice. GODS JUSTICE..
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Here’s what I’ve been doing…>> http://Www.Webcash1.Com
