Over fifty police officers from the 73rd and 81st precincts, a canine team and at least one NYPD helicopter are searching for a man who shot numerous rounds from a black Mercedes Benz around 1:00 pm today.
The suspect abandoned the car in Glenmore Plaza in Brownsville after he fled the scene of the crime on Ralph Ave. and Macon Street, police say.
The car was left just two blocks away from the location where Zurana Horton was killed less than two weeks ago, protecting school children from gang gunfire.
The target of the shooting is unclear, but police say they believe the perpetrator may have been shooting at a fellow off-duty security officer during a car chase from Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The suspect was accompanied by two people in the back of the car, police say.
