This is no longer coincidental. Someone is causing this.

Maybe 'under the radar'.

This, from "The Gothamist":

it appears from police scanners that the shooting was related to a robbery and that the perp has been shot (it is unclear if they were apprehended or are DOA). According to the FDNY there are "several" people being taken to nearby hospitals while they mitigate the scene.

Bet there are a lot more of these incidents in the near future.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

FoxNews has to rely on reports from Reuters.

[Isn’t FoxNews IN NY?]

Because the first three shootings didn’t have the desired effect.

If this one doesn’t, you will see another attack, and another.
