Publisher Brian Harrod: NYPD: Police Officer And 16-Year-Old Both Shot By The Same Bullet In The Bronx

 

Six policemen in two unmarked police vehicles were monitoring the area around Lollard Place and East 187th Street in the Belmont neighborhood....

https://newyork.town.news/g/new-york-ny/n/61067/nypd-police-officer-and-16-year-old-both-shot-same-bullet-bronx

THE BRONX: An area is known to police as a difficult block with narcotics, gang activity, and disruptive groups was the scene of a shooting

Officers walked to a property on Lollard Place at 9:30 p.m. to deal with an unruly group of at least seven people.

The police were all dressed in their uniforms.


As cops approached, a 16-year-old teenager went toward a parked car on the street and put his hands in his pockets, according to police.

The 16-year-old did not obey with officers’ commands to withdraw his hands from his pockets, according to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, and began to physically battle with the cops.


“A single bullet was discharged from the suspect’s pistol at this moment, striking the suspect in the left groin region before exiting the suspect and striking the officer in the right leg,” a NYPD spokesperson said.


Both the police and the 16-year-old were injured but not seriously. They were sent to St. Barnabas Hospital.


According to Sewell, no police officers fired their firearms at any point.


The officer who was hurt is a four-year member of the force.

It’s assumed that they’ll be OK.


A bullet and a pistol were found at the crime site.

The pistol was reported stolen in October 2020 in South Carolina, according to police.


The 16-year-old suspect is a member of a Crips gang subsection, according to authorities.


In May 2020, he was arrested and charged as a minor with handgun possession. In December, he was placed on probation.

“In December, this guy was sentenced to probation for gun possession. He got his hands on a pistol again in January. There’s something wrong with it. We are committing tactical blunders in blocking law enforcement from being able to remove weapons from our neighbourhoods. “That’s not acceptable,” stated Mayor Eric Adams.

From the Desk of Brian Harrod: THE BRONX: A Suspected Gas Explosion Forced A Building To Collapse, Killing One Person And Injuring Numerous Others.

https://newyork.town.news/g/new-york-ny/n/61078/bronx-suspected-gas-explosion-forced-building-collapse-killing-one-person-and

NEW YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT: One person was killed and many others were injured in an apparent gas explosion at a detached home in the Bronx. 

Thick smoke covered the area, more than 100 New York firemen, EMS and policemen rescuing occupants from the residence.

Some residents said they initially assumed a plane had crashed in the neighborhood. 

A passing motorist came to the aid of a woman who had been shoved into a porch gate.

He then walked inside to try to save her sister, who was entangled in the rubble.

The sisters were sent to Jacobi Hospital, where one of them is in stable condition while the other has died as a result of her injuries.

Responding NYPD police rescued a third lady who was trapped in her apartment.

She was also brought to Jacobi Hospital for medical treatment.

Martha Dagbasta, 77, was the woman who died.

At least nine injuries were recorded in all, five of which were claimed by locals.

Smoke inhalation was also reported by five police officers, who were sent to the hospital.

Several families have been displaced, with some seeking refuge in a local church.

Many of the original tenants, who are now elderly, still live in row houses, which were erected in the late 1980s.

At a news conference given by fire authorities, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson remarked, “We are going to continue to work together to offer all of the services necessary for the homes and citizens. We want to show our support for the families who have been affected by the fire. Raise your voice in support of the locals who are battling for their lives in surrounding hospitals.”

The reason for the explosion is still being looked into. According to fire officials, there were complaints of a gas order previous to the explosion.

Bronx Insider: [PRESS RELEASE] Senator Biaggi And Senate Majority Pass Election Reforms And Further Empower New York Voters.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, January 12th, 2022.

Senator Biaggi And Senate Majority Pass Election Reforms And Further Empower New York Voters. 

ALBANY, NY – This week, State Senator Alessandra Biaggi and the Senate Democratic Majority passed legislation to improve New York State’s electoral system, expand voting on college campuses, empower New York voters to participate in democracy, and continue protecting voters at the polls amidst the ongoing pandemic. These actions continue the Senate Democratic Majority’s tradition of kicking off Legislative Session by passing major pro-voter, and pro-democracy legislation.

State Senator Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx/Westchester) issued the following statement:

“COVID-19 continues to impact every aspect of our lives, especially as positivity rates and hospitalizations surge across our state –– but we cannot allow it to undermine our democracy and New Yorkers’ sacred right to vote. The failure of the voting rights ballot proposals in New York and the threat to voting rights across our nation place an even greater responsibility on the Legislature to do the right thing and prioritize voting reforms. My bill, S7565B, will ensure New Yorkers concerned with in-person voting due to the pandemic have the ability to request a ballot through 2022. As the end of the pandemic continues to remain uncertain, we must prioritize public health and ensure that New Yorkers do not have to choose between safeguarding their own health and fulfilling their civic duty. I want to thank Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for prioritizing this issue at the very start of this legislative session."

The voting reforms passed by Senator Biaggi and the Senate Democratic Majority include:

• COVID Absentee Voting For School District Elections: This bill, S.7619, sponsored by Senator Shelley Mayer and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, allows voters who are concerned about voting in-person due to an epidemic or disease outbreak to request an absentee ballot for school district elections in 2022. 

• 
  

• COVID Absentee Voting for General Elections: This bill, S.7565B, sponsored by Senator Alessandra Biaggi, extends legislation allowing COVID as an excuse for absentee voting for elections. 

• 
  

• Voter Registration at Second residence: This bill, S.6214, sponsored by Senator Zellnor Myrie and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, codifies the right of voters to register at a second residence. 

• 
  

• Democracy Preservation Act: This bill, S.1126A, sponsored by Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, prohibits corporate contributions from companies owned by foreign entities or owners. 

• 
  

• Polling Place On College Campuses: This bill, S.4658, sponsored by Senator Kevin Parker and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, designates polling places for voting on college campuses under certain circumstances. 

• 
  

• Candidate Order on Ballots: This bill, S.1283, sponsored by Senator Todd Kaminsky and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, adjusts the candidate order on ballots to prevent voter dropoff.

• 
  

• Portable Polling Locations for Early Voting: This bill, S.557, sponsored by Senator Rachel May and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, amends the election law to allow counties the option to establish two or more locations for portable polling places for early voting. 

• 
  

• Absentee Ballot Drop-off Box Locations: This bill, S.492, sponsored by Senator Brad Hoylman and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, allows local Board of Elections to establish absentee ballot drop-off locations to provide voters with a convenient alternative option to submit their absentee ballots. 

• 
  

• Validation of Ballots: This bill, S.253, sponsored by Senator Zellnor Myrie and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, requires the canvassing of paper ballots when the express intentions of the voter are unambiguous. 

• 
  

• Counting of Affidavit Ballots: This bill, S.284A, sponsored by Senator Zellnor Myrie and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, requires counting affidavit ballots of eligible voters if a voter appears at a polling place in the correct county but in the incorrect election district. 

• 
  

• Reduction of Time for Mailing and Receipty of Registration to Constitutional Minimum: This bill, S.2951, sponsored by Senator Brian Kavanagh and co-sponsored by Senator Biaggi, reduces the time to register to vote to the Constitutional minimum, ten days before an election for primary and general elections.

Bronx Insider: [PRESS STATEMENT] Senator Alessandra Biaggi Issues Statement Regarding The Nomination Of Justice Shirley Troutman To The New York State Court Of Appeals.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, January 12th, 2022.

Senator Biaggi Issues Statement Regarding The Nomination Of Justice Shirley Troutman To The New York State Court Of Appeals.

“As a New York State Senator and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I take my responsibility of questioning and confirming judicial nominees very seriously. The Court of Appeals is New York’s highest court, and with every vacancy we have a responsibility to confirm judges who reflect our state’s diversity, understand the lived experiences of working class New Yorkers, and prioritize the rights of all New Yorkers within the criminal justice system. 

Justice Shirley Troutman is a well-qualified nominee, and I am confident she will bring her personal and extensive professional experience to every case that comes before her in her new role on the bench. As a Black woman serving in Western New York, with experience as a trial  and appellate judge, Justice Troutman has a holistic understanding of the law and the ways in which our criminal justice system has failed New Yorkers. For these reasons, I voted in favor of Justice Troutman’s confirmation to the Court of Appeals. New Yorkers are counting on Justice Troutman’s wide-ranging perspectives and thoughtfulness as a jurist to benefit the Court of Appeals, and for the sake of New York’s most vulnerable, I know she will not let us down.

As we look to future vacancies, I have serious concerns regarding the lack of professional diversity on the bench. The absence of public defenders and civil rights attorneys hinders New York’s highest court from protecting and advancing the rights of criminal defendants, and leads to only a narrow application of the Court’s full power. I implore the Commission on Judicial Nominations and the Executive to make it their highest priority to select their next candidate from non-traditional legal backgrounds and those without a prosecutorial background for future seats on the Court.”
