Police are looking for two men following a late night shooting at the Duane Reade on Delancey Street Friday. The ordeal was recorded by a surveillance camera. It happened around 11 p.m. Two men came up to the counter and demanded money from a cashier. According to the Times, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired it at close range at the cashier, but missed. The men fled the scene. Police say they’re trying to track down the suspects – two Hispanic men in their early 40’s, both about 5’10”. One had salt-and-pepper-colored hair, a mustache and goatee, and the other was wearing a baseball hat. Contact Crime Stoppers if you have information about this crime.
This is crazy… I remember the cops were around the corner on Essex and Delancey Friday night around 9pm handing out safety pamphlets. Thank god the girl didn’t get hurt.
Times are hard out there with a lot of people out of work and unfortunately things are going to get worse with more of these types of brazen crimes being committed by people who need money.
We go there all the time and were there on Friday.What is happening, is this has become a neighborhood of the have and have nots.
