A New York City man was shot in the head on Monday during a drive-by shooting outside the offices of the state's soft-on-crime Assembly speaker.
The shooting outside the Bronx offices of state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, occurred around 3:00 p.m. when at least one person in a white BMW sedan fired 10 shots from inside the vehicle, according to a report.A staff member in Heastie's offices called the police moments after the shots were fired.
Heastie, who has a reputation for being an advocate of leftist and lenient criminal reforms, was purportedly in Albany at the time of the incident, the report noted. The victim of the shooting, identified as a 20-year-old male, was rushed to the Jacobi Hospital Medical Center, where he was later said to be in stable condition, authorities said.A motive for the shooting has not been confirmed, and officials are investigating a possible connection between the shooting in front of Heastie's offices and a prior shooting roughly a mile away.
The shooting of the 20-year-old in the head comes the same day New York's Democratic-controlled Senate and Assembly reached an agreement to terminate a bail-reform measure.
