Police say no injuries or property damage were reported after four gunshots were fired in front of 2520 Barker Ave. in Allerton, Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
“I was laying around on the couch with my headphones in, and I thought it was fireworks at first because they were throwing fireworks last night,” said one neighbor, who asked not to be shown or identified.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video shown to News 12 showed a man walking down the sidewalk when a dark colored car came speeding down the road from behind him.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t think much of it until I heard the car going away and I was like ‘OK – those are shots, not actual fireworks,'” the neighbor said.<\/p>\n
The car then continued to speed down the street, passing both a daycare and a senior living building.<\/p>\n
“I know gunshots, I know when I hear gunshots,” said Hopeton Clarke, who lives in the senior building. “I just stayed in my home. I don’t want to get shot.”<\/p>\n
In the surveillance video, it is not clear exactly where the shots came from, and police say they are not sure either.<\/p>\n
The NYPD does say they were no bullets or shell casings found at the scene nor any reports of injuries or property damage.<\/p>\n
“It was just a ‘What was that moment? ‘” said the neighbor. “I was like, ‘Let me hang low’ until I see – and then I see a bunch of people going around, and then i went outside to check.”<\/p>\n
