“He was all full of blood,” she said, while the child an agent held was quiet. “How could you do this? What is going on? And then I’m looking at the baby.”

A video posted to social media appeared to show the chaotic aftermath, with a crowd gathered as NYPD officers rushed to a car and carried a man, seemingly unconscious, out of it and into the back of a law enforcement vehicle.

“What happened today was an outrage,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at a press conference at the scene late Thursday night. Mamdani confirmed the man’s 5-year-old son was in the car at the time of the shooting.
