August 02, 2021A scary Saturday in
Queens in New York
when, shortly after 10:30 pm local time,
two men opened fire on a group of people
in front of a barber shop.
Ten were injured in the shooting, aged between 19 and 72.
Three of the victims have been identified as members of the Trinitarios gang, one of the most violent groups on the New York scene, while another seven are passersby who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Fortunately, none of those involved are in danger of life.
According to the police reconstruction, the target of the two criminals who fled riding two scooters driven by two other people were the affiliates of the Trinitarios. There is video recorded by CCTV cameras in the area showing the action of the attackers and their escape. There are currently no arrests.
Similar episode in the night between Saturday and Sunday also in the
iconic Bourbon Street, in New Orleans
, in the heart of the crowded French quarter. Images shared on Twitter show dozens of people fleeing when several gunshots are heard in an area full of clubs. In the end there are five injured, none in danger of life. Here, too, a showdown between gangs is suspected.
