@newyorkUser1879175016 I live in the building. Overhearing from cops that it was the security guard from common ground the shelter next door. Apparently the shooter was a guy who always give the security guard problems and wants to come in to the building. So it wasn’t random. Saw the guy who was shot on the stretcher. They cut his clothes so he was basically naked and had gauze over his stomach/lower pelvis but I didnt see any blood and there is no blood on the sidewalk which is strange
@NewYorkUser937239010 that means the bullet didn’t exit which can become a major issue as well as life threatening if it travels
3 shootings all before 1 pm Brooklyn, Bronx, and now Manhattan what’s going on
@CinXo Common denominator…
“Supportive housing” tells me all I need to know
Classic case of the nuffins
