Police
say a 27-year-old man was shot outside Breukelen Houses at 9:15 a.m. Monday.
The man was shot in the chest and arm on the 5th floor
at 543 E 108th Street after a dispute broke out inside the
building, according to the NYPD.
Officials
say he was rushed to Brookdale Hospital, where he is expected to survive.
Angel
King, president of the Breukelen Resident Community Council, says
she was outside briefing participants of the summer youth program on the day’s
plan when they heard the gunshot.
“I
can’t believe that this is something that just keeps happening in our community
over and over,” said King. “When are we going to get tired of seeing the
bodies, when are we going to get tired of the gunshots, when are we going
to get tired of saying rest in peace… I can't even gather the words to say
anything else."
Police
say no arrests have been made. This incident comes just 24 hours after a
44-year-old was fatally shot a few blocks away.
