COURTHOUSE,
Feb 3 – A man
charged with shooting a gun
ten times in the air in
Manhattan's Chelsea
neighborhood while wearing a
ski mask asked to be released
on bond on February 3 in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court. Inner City
Press was there.
The
prosecutor called this
dangerous behavior, adding
that the defendant was charged
with resisting arrested in
2021, although it was pled
down to knife possession.
The
Federal Defender noted that
possession of a knife is no
longer illegal in New York
City, and emphasized that the
gun was fired in the air, not
at anyone.
Magistrate
Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein
said this was no comfort;
bullet come down and injure
people. He ordered the
defendant
detained.
The case is USA
v. Zayas, 1:26-mj-206
(Gorenstein)
