Mystery Gunman Shooting at Swanky NYC Apartment Building

Shooter appears to be firing from across the East River.

Residents of a ritzy New York City apartment block are living in fear for their lives after a gunman started firing potshots into the building’s windows. Two different apartments at One East River Place on the Upper East Side have had windows smashed by bullets over the past week. Investigators “think it’s some a–hole standing on a balcony shooting across the river,” a high-ranking NYPD insider told the New York Post. The first bullet crashed through the living-room window of a 14th-floor apartment sometime overnight between Thursday and Friday, according to police sources, while another hit a window on the 32nd floor less than a day later. “I’m petrified for my life,” said Ilene Epstein, 55, who lives in a river-facing apartment on the 22nd floor. “I’ll move out of my building before I walk around with a bulletproof vest.”
