Shooting Reported at NY Gov. Candidate Lee Zeldin’s Home, Family Unhurt
A shooting was reported outside gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin’s (R-N.Y.) home in New York, he confirmed, adding that his family members were not harmed.
“My 16-year-old daughters, Mikayla and Arianna, were at our house doing homework, while my wife, Diana, and I were in the car, having just departed the Bronx Columbus Day Parade in Morris Park,” Zeldin said in a statement on Sunday night to several news outlets.
Zeldin stated that two people who were shot were laying down underneath Zeldin’s front porch and in bushes near the porch.
“After my daughters heard the gunshots and the screaming, they ran upstairs, locked themselves in the bathroom and immediately called 911,” the lawmaker said. “They acted very swiftly and smartly every step of the way and Diana and I are extremely proud of them.”…
