[NYPOST] The man suspected of firing gunshots at a luxury high-rise in Manhattan from Roosevelt Island wrote about shooting "somebody" on his Facebook page weeks earlier.
"This summer is trash. Im bout to shoot somebody," Farris Koroma posted July 14 on his social media page, where he also says he’s a member of the Crips gang.
Koroma, 22, allegedly fired bullets near his home on Roosevelt Island around 1:10 a.m. Saturday ‐ hitting apartment windows 1,400 feet across the river, on a luxury building between East 72nd and East 73rd streets.
Security footage shows the suspect blasting a weapon over the river from a waterfront park, accompanied by a woman ‐ his girlfriend, according to a police source.
Koroma turned himself in to police Thursday night after someone who recognized either him or his girlfriend or both from the video called the cops, sources said.
Koroma’s neighbors in his Main Street residence said they were shocked at the news. They say he had previously attended college upstate and his mom works at the United Nations

over the river, like many residents in the building.
"I am so, so disappointed. I don’t know what’s wrong, maybe he is trying to join a gang, I don’t know. But he’s a good kid," said one resident, who wouldn’t give his name.
Koroma has also posted several photos of himself inside the UN on Facebook.
