ATF To Join NYPD In Fighting New York City Gun Crimes
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Bullet-riddled windows, yellow crime scene tape, and evidence markers denoting where shell casings fell on the sidewalk are becoming all-too-familiar sights on New York City streets.
Now in an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday.
Kramer is told it was a collective decision made by the federal government, the NYPD, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Those agencies are mounting a first-ever anti-gun initiative in high-crime areas.
“There’s going to be an increase in federal arrests – no doubt,” said AFT agent Charles Mulham.
