Update: Police make arrest in shooting of 19-year-old school employee in Brooklyn. GainerTV reports.
Police have arrested a man in a Brooklyn shooting that left a Department of Education employee fighting for his life. Sources say the victim was targeted.
As CBS2's Alice Gainer reports, students and staff saw more security on school grounds. Police stood outside the bodega on Avenue M where, Wednesday, 19-year-old Ethan Holder, who had just been shot, stumbled in. Down the block is PS 203, where Holder works as a substitute paraprofessional. He had just left the school when police say he was gunned down shortly before 3 p.m., allegedly by a man seen in surveillance video wearing a red hoodie, red sweatpants, red do-rag and black coat with fur on the collar. ""I noticed that this morning they have security guards came - more safety for people the kids," said parent Erica Martinez. "He was just walking going down the street and then started to run," she said.
"It's very scary. You know, everybody is going to school or going to work. We don't know if he'll come back or not. Honestly, it's so sad," said parent Mohammed Hamoud. The city's Department of Education says counselors are available at the school to work with students. Holder himself has no criminal record. Holder remains listed in critical condition.
