There were four separate shootings in the Bronx in less than 8 hours. Two of them were fatal. FOX 5 NY's Briella Tomassetti has the latest.

Bronx

Police in the Bronx are investigating four separate shootings that occurred within an eight-hour span, resulting in two fatalities and two non-fatal injuries. The incidents are not believed to be connected at this time. The most recent shootings took place in the 48th Precinct, with victims ranging in age from 26 to 34 years old. Authorities have released a description of one suspect and are continuing their search for those responsible.

The shootings have prompted public statements from Governor Kathy Hochul, who emphasized that overall crime rates, including retail theft, have recently declined in the city. Governor Hochul also discussed her conversation with President Trump, urging against the deployment of the National Guard to New York. Police continue to investigate the incidents and seek information on the suspects involved.

Police investigate string of shootings in the Bronx

Police are investigating multiple shootings in the Bronx, two that were fatal. Very serious situation this comes as Governor Kathy Hochul is pushing back against any plans from the White House to send in the National Guard, as the president has done in Washington, D.C. Good day's Briella Tomasetti is at the 48th Precinct, the 48th Station House, Mauritania section of the Bronx with the very latest. Briella, what do you know? Yeah, Dan and Tina, well bottom line here, there were four separate shootings here in the Bronx in less than eight hours. There is no sign right now that any of them are connected, but we know the most recent ones happened here in the 48th Precinct. Those were the two non-fatal shootings. Either way though, this all comes as Governor Hochul touts that crime is down. The governor herself held a press conference just yesterday mentioning that retail theft dropped 12% in the city between January and August, compared to the same time last year. During that event, Hochul mentioned that she had a phone call with President Trump over the weekend, urging him not to send the National Guard to New York. First, you'll hear from the governor who went into. Mr. President, I can give you all the data you need to show that crime is down. Just like to say, I'll tell you what, Mr. President, if I think I need help from the National Guard beyond what I'm already doing, I know where to find you. Kathy Hochul said that she spoke to you on the phone and you said you might send National Guard troops to New York, you mentioned that. So will you be sending troops and when? I'd get along with Kathy. If she'd like to do that, I would do it. Again, this all happened as gun violence erupted here in the Bronx. The first shooting took place just after eight o'clock yesterday morning on Anthony Avenue between East 176th Street and Mount Pope Place. A 32-year-old man was shot in the back and later died at the hospital. The suspect ran off. Police say he's around 50 years old with a medium build and was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants and blue sneakers. A few hours later, just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the NYPD was called to Crows Avenue where they found a 34-year-old man who had been shot in the torso. The victim, who police identified as Kelvin Mosqueda, also died from his injuries at the hospital. The third shooting, well, that happened at 2.30 at East Tremont and Bryan Avenues. Investigators say a 31-year-old Amazon worker was shot in the ankle and taken to the hospital in stable condition. A bullet hole was spotted on the passenger side of the truck and police found a shell casing inside. That final shooting happened at around 3.30. According to police, a 26-year-old man was shot twice in the leg on Adams Place. Citizen app video shows an ambulance pulling up to the scene. That victim expected to survive his injuries. All right, so on top of all of that, shots were fired again about 15 minutes after that last shooting. That time it happened in the Allerton section of the Bronx. Police say that two men jumped out of an SUV, started shooting, got back in the car and left. Police have yet to track down the suspects, but thankfully no injuries were reported. For now, we're live here outside the 48th Precinct. Hannah, Tina, back to you. All right, thank you very much, Briella.
