   Mayors urge homeless to get off streets

   Fuck DC.   
      
   The mayors of New York City and Washington, DC urged their   
   cities’ homeless populations to seek shelter Sunday as a “cold-   
   blooded killer” who had shot at least five vagrants remained on   
   the loose.   
      
   A lone gunman is suspected of targeting sleeping homeless men in   
   a series of shootings in DC and the Big Apple this month that   
   has so far left two men dead and three others wounded.   
      
   New York Mayor Eric Adams and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said they   
   were coordinating with federal authorities to investigate the   
   crimes before he strikes again.   
      
   “The work to get this individual off our streets before he hurts   
   or murders another individual is urgent,” the two said in a   
   statement released just before midnight.   
      
   “As our law enforcement agencies work quickly with federal   
   partners to locate the suspect, we are also calling on   
   unsheltered residents to seek shelter. Again, it is   
   heartbreaking and tragic to know that in addition to all the   
   dangers that unsheltered residents face, we now have a cold-   
   blooded killer on the loose, but we are certain that we will get   
   the suspect off the street and into police custody.”   
      
   The gunman is suspected in three attacks on homeless men in DC   
   between March 3 and March 9, with one man dying from his wounds.   
   The same man made his way north to Manhattan by Saturday, when   
   cops said he shot two homeless men in separate incidents in Soho.   
      
   Another homeless man found was dead in a sleeping bag in   
   Tribeca, but authorities haven’t confirmed his death was related   
   to the serial shooter. No ballistics were found at the scene and   
   there were no discernible entry marks through the man’s   
   clothing, sources said.   
      
   The NYPD issued new patrol guidance amid the terrifying   
   incidents, an internal memo showed. All officers were directed   
   to “proactively engage with apparently homeless individuals,”   
   conduct wellness checks and offer shelter services.   
      
   Cops should also tell vulnerable people about the brutal attacks   
   and show them wanted posters of the suspected gunman, the   
   guidance said.
