"We are tired of it. I know the media is tired of it. I know the neighbors are tired of it. The people who have children are tired of it," Deputy Commissioner Ben Naish said. "I can’t tell you why somebody at 5:30 in the evening would open fire on a group of people in broad daylight while there’s massive amounts of traffic going by and people in the street."
Police say there is video of the shooting and they encourage people to contact authorities anytime they hear about something brewing even on social media.
So far, no arrests have been made and a weapon has not been recovered.
