Bay Ridge heads up – avoid 5th Avenue and 95th Street. (Channel 7 News)
Around 4:15 pm today, there was a shooting on 5th Avenue and 95th Street. A 24-year-old man was shot in the arm and a 21-year-old woman was shot in the leg. Several places have reported that it was not life-threatening.
The man and woman had been picked up by a gray Hyundai Sonata after leaving PluggedIn Sneaker Boutique. (Source) There’s blood in the back seat of the car and a lot on the street.
The news said that a white Mercedes was circling the block and then shot at the gray sedan. Rigites told the news they heard, “Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.” Then the gray car crashed.
The 21-year-old female victim was laying on the ground in front of Plugged In. When a Ridgite saw that she was bleeding from her leg, he jumped into action. He put a belt around the woman‘s leg to stop the bleeding.
The man, who was shot in the arm, ran down the block and came back ten minutes later. (Source)
The address given on the Citizen App is for “Plugged In Sneaker Boutique.” Plugged In sells fashionable sneakers. In March, this footwear was being sold at Plugged In for $750.00:
The store has a security guard. People stand on line outside the store when the store has new releases. (See video). The woman who was shot was laying on the ground outside the store (a trail of blood came from the street.)
Plugged In told the news they closed their shop to protect their customers.
Thus is a gray sedan with blown out windows:
Avery Pereira’s video shows how serious this situation was:
We’re constantly being told that violent crime is a figment of our imagination. Our radical progressive politicians falling over to protect violent thugs. Targeted shooting in #BayRidge just a little while ago right next to a Day Care Center! Enough #BackTheBlue #Law&Order pic.twitter.com/9Jt2NHW8fj

The shooter ran away and the police are searching for him. The description given was that he is wearing a light blue tracksuit. The police were seen on Shore Road.
Next door to the Plugged In sneaker store is a preschool, Ms. Jenn’s Little Achievers). Ms. Jenn and her staff must have been shocked by the gunshots. Across the avenue is the library – Ft. Hamilton branch.
The NYPD blocked off the area to investigate. (See here)
PS 104/IS 104 on the corner of 5th Avenue and 91st Street had a carnival this afternoon. The carnival was moved indoors due to the weather. After the gun fire, families attending the carnival were locked down in the school. It’s good that the school took precautions because the shooter has not been caught.
Freedom News shared this video of the police investigating. (See here) Freedom News wrote: “Two people were waiting for a car to pick them up, and they get shot at.”
