Gang member accused of Bronx shooting silent while walked out of precinct
The Harlem gangbanger charged with nearly gunning down two young siblings while shooting at a rival in the Bronx ignored reporters’ questions Friday as he was hauled out of a police precinct.
Michael Lopez — wearing a white tank top tucked into his underwear, gym shorts and flip-flops with socks — stared straight ahead as reporters yelled questions before he was put into the back of a police cruiser at the NYPD’s 44th Precinct.
Lopez is accused of opening fire on Sheridan Avenue in broad daylight June 17 — targeting a rival gang member who trampled a 13-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother as he tried to avoid the bullets.
The shocking act of gunplay was captured on video.
Miraculously, neither child was injured.
The video shows Lopez firing numerous times at a 24-year-old man as he stumbles over the stunned siblings, police said.
Lopez faces charges of attempted assault, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal use of a firearm, reckless endangerment and attempted reckless endangerment, police said.
He is expected to be arraigned in Bronx criminal court later Friday.
