The victim opened his door for a delivery and while taking the boxes inside his house, he felt a sudden stinging pain in his stomach from what he reported felt like a BB gun shot. He immediately called Shomrim and 911. Both units responded but did not have much to work with as the victim never saw the shooter so was not able to provide a description.

Police then filled out a police report of the incident, noting that the victim was left with a small circular bruise on his stomach. He B”H did not require medical attention. There have been no other reports of such incidents to either NYPD or Shomrim.

In case of an emergency never hesitate to call 911 and Shomrim at (718) 774-3333 24/7

    people have such stupid comments. it was a bbgun, they found the bullet on the ground. and no this is not a joke. if a child was at the door, it could have gotten them in the face, ch”v. they dont know who shot it, it could have been someone from the building across the street.
