Two Dominican nationals involved in the case were sentenced in Federal court earlier this week, while state charges are still pending.<\/p>\n
The NYPD said the shooting involved federal law enforcement agents, and that members of the NYPD were not involved in the incident, and was not on scene at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n
The man who was shot was taken to a nearby hospital, where he is currently conscious and receiving medical attention, according to police.<\/p>\n
Witnesses described a chaotic scene after they said they heard several gunshots ring out Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
“I only heard about four shots, but I thought it was a car backfiring,” one woman said. “I thought no, that’s definitely gunshots, so I ran to my window and all of a sudden I heard cops running, not walking down the street, and followed shortly there after by more cops, and then more cops and ICE agents. Everybody was running. I think it’s horrifying.”<\/p>\n

Lawmakers and immigration activists react to shooting<\/p>\n
The shooting has sparked swift reaction from New York officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul.<\/p>\n
The mayor said he called the president and will demand an end to ICE actions when they speak, saying, “I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities. Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery. Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children. Abolish ICE.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Gov. Hochul is calling for “full transparency” from federal authorities.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been briefed on this afternoon’s shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in the Bronx,” Hochul said in the statement posted to social media. “We expect federal authorities to provide a full and transparent accounting of the circumstances surrounding this incident. New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what happened and why.”<\/p>\n
The shooting has also prompted responses from city immigration activists.<\/p>\n
“ICE’s violent tactics are a clear danger to all New Yorkers, as today’s shooting in a residential neighborhood demonstrates. This incident is another reminder of the unchecked, rampant violence ICE has been spreading throughout our communities,” said Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition.<\/p>\n
Politicians and activists are set to hold a press conference at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
