Two young men shot outside NY gov. hopeful Rep. Lee Zeldin's Long Island home while twin daughters inside
|
[NYPOST] Two young men were shot outside the Long Island home of GOP gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin on Sunday while his twin teenage daughters were at home, he confirmed to The Post.
"My daughters Mikayla and Arianna were doing homework on the first floor," said Zeldin, who was not at the house in Shirley at the time. "They heard the shots. Boom! They went upstairs and locked themselves in the bathroom.
"They’re freaked out," the congressman said of his 16-year-old girls. "One of the bullets was found 30 feet from where my daughters were doing their homework."
Detectives are investigating the drive-by shooting as gang-related and were still looking for the gunman or button men, according to a law enforcement source.
Gangs? I thought Long Island was full of nice, safe suburbs. Shows what I know. | Zeldin, who has made rising crime one of his prime campaign issues, said he was infuriated by the shooting in a Sunday night presser.
"I’m standing in front of scene of the crime tape in front of my own house," he said while standing beside his family. "You can’t get me more outraged than I am right now."
Sources said that while the shooting took place two doors down from Zeldin’s home — and a bullet hit the congressman’s fence — it had "nothing to do with’’ the candidate, who is running on a tough-on-crime platform.
One of the two 17-year-old victims jumped over the congressman’s fence trying to escape getting shot as the bullets flew, knocking over a "Zeldin for Governor" sign in the process, according to sources.
Sources said one of the victims was shot in the chest, while the other was grazed on the arm.
A high-ranking law enforcement source told The Post the teen victims are "known to the department" and have been "involved with car thefts."
The pair were doing homework at their kitchen table on Sunday afternoon inside the Shirley home when three teenagers walking along the tree-lined street were shot at from a moving car.
Two 17-year-olds, from Mastic and Mastic Beach, were struck by bullets and took cover in bushes and under the front porch of Zeldin’s home.
