A 90-year-old-woman was shot in New York, caught in the middle of a gun fight. Check out this report from ABC and tell m what you think? Thank goodness she didn’t die. The gun law hounds are going absolute gaga over this one.
A 90-year-old woman was shot three tiems in East New York, Brooklyn. It happened at around 4:25 p.m. near the intersection of Blake and Miller Avenues.
The victim, who police say was shot twice in the arm was taken to Brookdale Hospital and remains in stable condition.
Officials say the woman was with her home health attendant at the time of the shooting. She was shot and hit in the elbow.
The streets of East New York were cordoned off with crime scene tape Wednesday night, and what a crime it was. Think of all Gloria Johnson has seen in her 90 years, but she never saw this coming. On the way to the Laundromat she was shot twice.
“She didn’t know she’d been shot until she saw the blood,” said Ellen Johnson, the victim’s granddaughter.
Stephan works at a nearby deli and he came out to help Mrs. Johnson.
“She couldn’t talk, she’s was just nervous like shaking. She saw the blood and that’s when she got worried too much,” said Stephan Ali, an eyewitness.
Police believe the 90-year-old woman was caught in a gun battle between two people who had a beef that had nothing to do with her. But people in the community were not eager to hear any excuses.
“Shame on you for busting shots at 90-year-old ladies, shame on you, embarrassing that this has happened in our community. It’s bad enough that we are going through enough troubles in life, to have a 90-year-old lady shot in our community,” said John Rodriguez, a resident.
This as the governor and lawmakers are considering new gun laws.
“Folks in Brooklyn, in Queens, in Manhattan, in the Bronx are dying out here. Our young people and now our elders are being shot with these illegal handguns and this has to stop today,” said Tony Herbert, a community activist.
Three generations of family members are just happy Mrs. Johnson is OK.
“She’s fine, she wants to go home actually. She’s strong, she’s been through a lot and we just need your prayers,” said Stacey Holt, the victim’s granddaughter.
Sources say a silver car, belived to be an Acura, pulled up near the intersection and fired at a group of people standing at the corner of Blake and Miller Avenues.
Police say the victim was not the intended target.
