A scooter-riding gunman killed an 87-year-old man and wounded 3 others in a string of random shootings across Queens and Brooklyn, police said.
A 25-year-old man was taken into custody without incident and his identity was not revealed by police, Assistant Police Chief Joseph Kenny said at a news conference."We don't know the motive. It seems his acts were random," Kenny said. "Video shows that he's not targeting anybody - he's not following anybody as he's driving on his scooter, he's randomly shooting people.
Seventeen minutes later, a 87-year-old man was shot multiple times in the Richmond Hill area of Queens. He later died at a hospital. At 11:35 a.m. at Hillside Avenue and 126th Street, a 44-year-old man was shot in the face. He is now in critical condition. "Armed with an image of the suspect as officers fanned out across Queens," said NYPD Acting Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
