Police have arrested two men
for driving around Glendale
and Middle Village shooting
nearly a dozen pedestrians, along
with pieces of property, with paintballs
on Friday, Oct. 13.
According to law enforcement
authorities, Gilbert Lopez, 22, of Sutter
Avenue in Brooklyn, and Oscar
Casanova, 19, of Central Avenue in
Glendale, were arrested in front of 70-
28 73rd Pl. in relation to eight incidents
of shooting paintballs out of a car,
striking several victims and buildings.
The duo has been charged with
eight accounts of assault, two counts
of reckless endangerment, and two
counts of endangering the welfare
of a child, police announced.
According to a CBS report, Larry
Interrante, one of the victims of the
paintball attacks, was walking along
77th Avenue in Glendale with his
5-year-old son looking at the neighborhood’s
Halloween decorations
when he was hit with a paintball.
His fi rst thoughts were that they
were gunshots, and he immediately
went to protect his son.
“I ripped off my jacket; grabbed
my son. We ducked down,” Interrante
told CBS. “I was more concerned
about my son being hit.”
Lopez and Casanova continued
their paintball spree at Juniper Valley
Park before one of the other victims
took down the license plate number
and gave it to police, CBS reported.
Offi cers from the 104th Precinct
then made the arrest in Glendale.
