      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       XPost: alt.society.liberalism, soc.culture.african.american       From: democrat-insurrection@mail.house.gov              https://abcnews.go.com/US/mother-human-shield-new-york-city-shooting-       injured/story?id=117222131              A 40-year-old mother was one of six people shot in a New York City       convenience store when one of the suspected targets of a "brazen and       heartless attack" used her as a human shield, authorities said.              The two gunmen who opened fire on a group of people Monday evening in the       crowded convenience store in the New York borough of the Bronx remained at       large Tuesday morning as investigators worked to identify them, according       to the New York Police Department (NYPD).              The mother, whose name was not released, suffered a bullet wound to her       stomach and her 12-year-old daughter was shot in the leg during the       incident that also left four men with gunshot wounds, NYPD Interim Chief       of Department John Chell said at a news conference Monday evening outside       the G&W Grocery, where the shooting occurred.              "We had a brazen and heartless attack by two shooters who opened fire in       the middle of the street and into a crowded convenience store, striking       six people," Chell said. "The mother was used as a shield by the intended       targets of the shooting."              The incident unfolded at around 5 p.m. when uniformed patrol officers       received numerous reports of shots being fired on group of people gathered       in front of the store, Chell said.              Chell said security video reviewed by investigators captured the two       alleged gunmen running across the street outside the convenience store,       firing multiple rounds at several people gathered outside the store. The       shooters kept firing as some of the intended targets of the shooting ran       inside the store, Chell said.              The mother and her daughter were standing at the store's counter when the       individuals being fired upon rushed inside as the front windows of the       store were shattered by the gunfire, Chell said, who added that the store       was crowded at the time of the shooting.              In what Chell described as a "cowardly" act, he said one of the men       targeted by the alleged shooters bumped into the mother, grabbed her and       placed her in front of him, causing her to be shot in the stomach.              The two alleged gunmen, one wearing a black Nike sweatsuit and the other       dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt, fled the scene on foot, Chell said.              Chell said that investigators were questioning the four men who were shot,       who ranged in age from 18 to 21, to determine if any of them were among       the group of people targeted by the two alleged shooters.              Chell said a motive for the shooting is under investigation.              Witness Beverly Taylor told ABC New York City station WABC that the       grocery store and the sidewalk in front of it were bustling with people       when the gunfire erupted at rush hour.              "There were 10 to 15 shots I heard and I just dropped to the ground,"       Taylor said.              Taylor said she didn't see who was doing to the shooting, but in the       aftermath she saw the young girl who was shot.              "Whoever shot these people, they had no regard for human life," said Jamal       Wilson, who works at a nearby business. "It puts fear in us. Because now       we can't really come outside. I do deliveries. I don't know if it's safe       for me to do a delivery tomorrow."              The latest NYPD crime statistics show that the number of shooting       incidents across the city in 2024 decreased nearly 8% from 2023, while the       number of shooting victims, which numbered 1,150, decreased 5.1% from the       year before.              "Those numbers mean nothing when you see a horrific incident like that,"       New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a news conference Tuesday.              Adams added, "It is clear we're going to find everyone that's responsible       and bring them to justice."                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and       eradicated.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
