A man reportedly identified as an aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was shot in the head and critically injured after gunfire erupted in the pre-dawn hours on Monday before the West Indian Day parade in Brooklyn, police said.
The 43-year-old man was the "unintended target" of the shooting, which took place at 3:41 a.m. at 1680 Bedford Avenue, said a spokeswoman for the New York Police Department.

$120,000 a year attorney...new hire....even though there was a hold on new hire. Gotta love Cuomo...Such a sleeze..
$120,000.00 Chup change in New York!
Take the hint, Andrew.
Don’t throw your hat in the presidential race.
So many unintended things happen.
He’ll be back on his feet practicing law in a New York minute.
I wouldn’t go that far, but he is sure to manage to show up at the next election to vote ‘DemonRat’.
How can someone be a target but unintendedly so?
I hope the shooter didn’t have more than seven rounds in the magazine because if he did, then he’ll be in REAL trouble...
“Misidentified target”?, as in the shooter hit what he was aiming at, but he was aiming at the wrong mutha.
near 'miss'
'jumbo' shrimp
Yeah, “unintended target” is one of those phrases like “jumbo shrimp.”
Makes you go “hmmmmm.”
GMTA.
If there was only something like the SAFE Act in NY, this tragedy could have been prevented.
Will Rogers, circa 1923:
Never a day passes in New York without some innocent bystander being shot. You just stand around
in this town long enough and be innocent and somebodys gonna shoot ya. One day there was four
shot. Thats the best shootin ever done in this town. Hard to find four innocent people in New York,
even if you dont stop to shoot em. Thats why a policeman never has to aim here. He just shoots up
the street anywhere. No matter who he hits, its the right one.
If guns were just more or less outlawed in New York.
let's all hope it's a learning experience for him that his dumbazz should be HOME at 4:30 in the am,,,
Chode, while I'm with ya 99.99% of the time, the guy was out for an annual event that was going to start at 4 AM, at least that is what they said in an earlier article.

Okay some random thoughts on this: If he was the “unintended” target what was he doing there at 3:41 AM? Of course he had some connection to the INTENDED target. Given the number of scumbags shooting at cops I’m sure the cops working the West Indian Day Parade are as anxious and wary as we were when I worked that parade 35 years ago. It got safer and actually fun during Rudy’s days but of course those days are now over.
