A very disturbing video shows an armed man repeatedly shooting at another man while two children frantically dodge bullets in New York City on Thursday.
According to the New York Police Department, the shooting took place around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday on 1551 Sheridan Avenue in the Bronx.
The children, a 5-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister, avoided being shot as the gunman fired nearly a dozen shots on his intended target, a 24-year-old man, according to WABC-TV.
The victim was hit in the back and legs and was transported to the hospital.
“They’ll shoot anybody, at any time, in front of kids, during the day. This is what it’s turned into,” NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison said, NBC New York reported. “We need our police officers out here and we’ve got to make sure we deploy more cops, especially out here in the Bronx. We’re seeing a lot of the violence going back and forth.”
