""In a lot of these shootings, the gang was shooting back and forth at each other," said DA Gonzalez."
""Of the 36 indicted today, many have a previous arrest connected to a firearm," said Tisch. "Nineteen of them have two or more previous gun arrests.""
""Twelve times bullets went into people's homes. Sometimes they were on the first floor, other times the sixth floor. It didn't matter - they were not safe from this violence," said Gonzalez."
""The NYPD took 36 firearms off the streets including a .9-mm ghost gun," said Tisch. "Part of the 1,300 firearms our officers have removed so far this year.""
