sources, the uncovered
weapon was loaded with
seven rounds of ammunition
and members of the
NYPD’s 52nd Precinct responded
to the scene. Police
sources told the Bronx
Times that the weapon had
previously been used in
a shooting in the Kingsbridge
section, but did not
disclose the specifics of
that crime.
“This important discovery
could help solve a
crime already committed,
it could have been used
again in future crimes, or
a young child could have
found it, picked it up, leading
to another sad gun
tragedy for our city,” said

As New York City leaders
and law enforcement
are trying to find a way to
get guns off the street amid
a citywide spike in crime,
FDNY officials are finding
guns on some of the city’s
most unexpected rooftops.
On Wednesday, March
23 during a noontime inspection
of an air conditioning
unit, an FDNY fire
inspector, Aklakur Rahman,
discovered a loaded
automatic weapon on the
rooftop of a 10-story highrise
at 2757 Morris Ave. in
the Bronx, which operates
as New Life Outreach International
— a community
church.

Oren Barzilay, president
of the FDNY EMS Local
2507, which represents the
fire inspectors said. “Each
and every day when our
FDNY Fire Prevention Inspectors
are in the field,
they always go out of their
way to look out for other
red flags present at buildings
all across the city. I
commend Fire Inspector
Rahman for taking another
dangerous gun off
our local streets.”
The FDNY has a team
of inspectors specifically
trained to go out across
the city and walk the halls,
basements, rooftops and
yard areas of buildings for
any potential violations.
