New York City officials have asked the public to help find a person who shot two sleeping homeless men, one fatally, in Lower Manhattan early Saturday morning.
At about 4:30 a.m., the police responded to a call at the corner of King and Varick streets and found a 38-year-old Hispanic man with a gunshot wound to his right forearm. The man had been sleeping when he was shot, Deputy Chief Hank Sautner of the New York Police Department said at a news conference late Saturday.
The victim screamed, “What are you doing?” and the assailant fled east on King Street, Mr. Sautner said. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was in stable condition, the police said.
Just watch, he’ll be out on bail before the ink on his arraignment is dry….you know, bail reform and all
