A gunman riding a scooter shot four victims in the Brooklyn and Queens boroughs of New York City over the weekend, authorities reported.
Police said the gunman also fired randomly at a crowd of people on 108th Street, but did not hit anyone.
According to authorities, the suspect, who had one prior arrest, was caught near 94th Avenue, less than two hours after the shooting began.
“We don’t know the motive…If you look at the demographics and pedigree of the victims, they’re all different,” Assistant Police Chief Joseph Kenny said. “At this time, video shows that he’s not targeting anybody. He’s not following anybody as he’s driving on his scooter, he’s randomly shooting people.”

The New York Police Department issued pictures of the suspect to every patroller on the streets. Officers were able to arrest him, in addition to recovering the semiautomatic pistol, extended magazines and the scooter. During a press conference, authorities said that the shooter used an illegal scooter without a valid license plate. Assistant Chief Joseph Kenny also said that the attack appeared to be random.
