Police Investigate Shooting on East 12th Street

 

An early morning shooting on Avenue C was covered by Channel 2 and New York 1. There are conflicting reports. But it appears the incident happened somewhere near 11th Street, in spite of this screen grab from WCBS that identifies the location as Avenue C and 10th Street. A 25-year old man was shot in the chest – and taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he is in stable condition. Police are investigating whether the shooting is linked to a feud between gangs at the Campos Plaza Housing Project and other neighborhood gangs. Earlier this summer, after the arrest of LES rapper "Tru Life," we reported about the growing fears about worsening violence in the area.
