A woman was shot dead outside a house in East Elmhurst Saturday, according to police.
Police responded to a call at around 3:35 p.m. that a woman had been shot in front of 32-17 97th Street. Upon arrival, officers from the 115th Precinct discovered the woman, 37, with gunshot wounds to her abdomen.

So sad ? and scary ? around here. Be safe.
Sandra- The incident took place about five miles away from Sunnyside.
This is what you get when you get rid of the Anti-Crime Unit.
Enjoy.
Duh- This has absolutely nothing to with the anti crime unit. You’re showing that low information and disregard of the facts that you’re known for in your posts to this comment stream.
does it even matter? there is no justice system anymore. killers will be released the next day anyway with Mets tickets and gift cards and a hearty handshake from the mayor for a job well done.
A-You’re absolutely ridiculous
People who commit violent crimes don’t get released. Why don’t you do just a teeny tiny bit of research instead of saying the same tired bits?
Why no protests?
Does it offend you that there are protests when police choke a man to death?
Or it just offends you when every death in NYC isn’t followed by a large protest?
The police didn’t kill him, one man did. But we blame all for the actions of a few. Would you condemn all plumbers if one could fix your sink? All POC if one stole your car? And let’s be real, mr Floyd was so full of fentanyl there was a good chance he’d expire just sitting handcuffed in the police car.
Too bad there weren’t less police and more bike lanes and drag queen story time when these shooters were kids.
Ron – How would more police have prevented this crime?
