Make that five gun incidents in eight days after more shots were fired near the Hartley House apartments in New Rochelle. Last weekend there was a series of gun incidents in New Rochelle.
This would be the third incident of shots fired in the area around the Hartley House apartments since Halloween weekend, the fifth anniversary of the events surrounding the “2-5” murder.
At least two of the incidents have been tied to the “2-5” murder case. This week is the five year anniversary of the “2-5” murder and subsequent retaliation murder which set the city on edge in 2005 leading to evacuations at New Rochelle High School. The shooters near the Hartley Houses reportedly shouted as they drove, referencing 2-5 and saying the shootings would go on all week.
Despite the repeated shooting incidents and threats to continue firing shots in the area, there were no New Rochelle police officers posted the immediate area, sources say.
The New Rochelle Police Department declined to provide further details.
