Just unreal. Less than 24 hours after the tragic mass shooting that killed four people, including a police officer, in Midtown Manhattan, we had another incident where a New York City neighborhood was locked down because a man was strolling around with what appears to be a long gun. Police apprehended the suspect, who is a master recidivist with a rap sheet that spans some 70 arrests, including multiple gun charges. The suspect says the weapon was an air rifle (via NY Post):

An emotionally disturbed recidivist was arrested after he was spotted walking around a Bronx neighborhood with what appeared to be a long gun in broad daylight — less than 24 hours after a mass shooter killed an NYPD officer and three others at a luxury Park Avenue office tower.

The 42-year-old man — who has more than 70 prior arrests, including six gun charges — was nabbed shortly after police arrived at 1402 Nelson Ave. to canvass the Highbridge neighborhood around 12:30 p.m., according to the NYPD and law enforcement sources.

A photo obtained by The Post shows the man wearing a black T-shirt, black shorts, white sneakers and a black backpack, toting the firearm in his left hand.

The armed suspect — known to police as an emotionally disturbed individual with multiple related arrests — allegedly told cops the gun he was carrying was an air rifle, law enforcement sources said.
