A calm Friday evening turned chaotic on East 214 Street near Holland Avenue in Williamsbridge when gunfire erupted during a vigil for a shooting victim who died a block away a day earlier.Detectives say a bullet hit the girl in the back as she sat in a car with her father. On Sunday, his second day on the job, Caban visited her at Montefiore Hospital.That came as welcome news.
"What we know was the shooting at the vigil was related to a homicide the night before around the block," Caban said. Now, with the summer season in full swing and an increase in gunfire this weekend, police are taking action. "I can tell you I was on the phone with the commissioner last night. He allowed us to move some resources around to some of the deployment zones that we have created. And I can tell you from 11 o'clock last night through right now, we took no shootings, no violence on the midnight shift on a summer on July 2," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
Police are still trying to determine a motive for the two shootings and who the intended targets were.
