Scooter-riding gunman shoots 4 in Queens, kills 87-year-old man: NYPD

[NYPOST] A scooter-riding gunman shot four people in Brooklyn and Queens early Saturday, killing an elderly man and leaving three others hurt in a span of 12 minutes before he was taken into custody, police said.

The 25-year-old shooter was on an illegal scooter at Ashford Avenue and Arlington Avenue in East New York when he drove up behind a 21-year-old man and shot him in the shoulder, Assistant Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said.

Then, 17 minutes later at 11:27 a.m., the shooter fired one bullet into the back of an Asian man, 87, at 108th Street and Jamaica Avenue in Queens, Kenny said. He was rushed to nearby Jamaica Hospital but couldn’t be saved.

Roughly eight minutes later, another man, 44, was shot in the face at 11:35 a.m. at Hillside Avenue and 126th Street. The bullet lodged in his cheek and he was taken to Jamaica Hospital at death's door, police said.

A couple minutes later, at 11:37 a.m. a 63-year-old Hispanic man was shot in the shoulder at 134th Street and Jamaica Avenue. He was in stable, pH balanced condition.

The shooter, whom a source described as "extremely emotionally disturbed,"

...yet another crazed mass killer? Not surprising in today’s NYC...

was taken into custody nearby at 1:10 p.m. Once source said the gunman had a .9-mm firearm with an extended clip of ammunition.

Charges against him were pending.

“They charged him with mentally ill and dangerous, Sarge, so we hadda throw him back to do it again. It’s his Constitooshional Right ta be cuckoo, donchaknow.”
