These morons need to stop this. It’s been happening too frequently now. I hope someone recognize this low life idiot and gets him. They need to think about the innocent bystanders and kids that are out playing. It’s all good until one of their kids or family members get shot.

Thank goodness no one was hurt. Seems like it took place days before the other shooting in Astoria. Thanks for making us aware of what is happening. So sad.

Not all crimes make the news. But it is good when there is surveillance video to go public to help identify the suspect(s). When my neighbor was robbed in Astoria no one from the media showed up.
