A major summit, organized by Rev. Al Sharpton, is underway at the National Action Network in an effort to fight crime in New York City.
"It doesn't matter how old you are. If you are old enough to have a gun, you are old enough to face whatever it is that you got to face, because families are being destroyed," said Yaneli Henriquez, the mother of a shooting victim.
The gunman stood outside a corner bodega and fired half-a-dozen shots at another young man across the street. But the bullets missed and struck Yambo half a block away."You have to know that there are consequences to the decisions that you make," Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said."They should know it because they face prosecution," Clark said.
