He now faces numerous charges related to the most recent incident in the Bronx, \u201cincluding attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, use of a firearm, reckless endangerment, attempted reckless endangerment and more,\u201d Pix reported.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez, the outlet reported, was found at his stepfather\u2019s house in Harlem and has five prior arrests \u201cincluding for robbery, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.\u201d His most recent arrest was last year.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was captured by store security cameras, which showed a man running from the shooter, alleged to be Lopez, and crashing into two young girls, who all fell to the ground. The shooter continues to try to fire at the victim as the two girls scramble to avoid being shot, with the older girl \u2013 who is 13 \u2013 shielding the younger girl \u2013 who is 5 \u2013 from the blasts.<\/p>\n<p>Pix reported that neither girl was injured.<\/p>\n<p>Police said Lopez began shooting at a 24-year-old man on June 17, with no reason for the shooting specified. \u201cThe victim suffered gunshot wounds to the back and both legs, and was taken to a nearby hospital by private means, police said at the time,\u201d Pix reported.<\/p>\n<p>Police continue to look for an alleged accomplice of Lopez connected to the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/26\/us\/bronx-shooting-near-kids-arrest\/index.html\">reported<\/a> that Lopez is suspected to be involved with the \u201cMake it Happen Boyz\u201d gang.<\/p>\n<p>Bronx County District Attorney Darcel Clark described the history of crime in the Bronx and how Lopez\u2019s alleged shooting would play a role in the image of the borough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than 40 years ago during a Yankee game, the TV cameras focused on a building on fire not too far from Yankee Stadium and the announcer said, \u2018The Bronx is burning\u2019,\u201d Clark said, according to CNN. \u201cThat footage defined the Bronx for years to come and we were seen as a place of destruction and arson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we have this video of two innocent children running for their lives. The images of a 13-year-old girl shielding her 5-year-old brother from bullets fired by a gunman in broad daylight on a Thursday afternoon,\u201d he added. \u201cThat heart-wrenching video was seen around the world and now I fear that the catch-phrase is, \u2018The Bronx is bleeding.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark added: \u201cIt took days for the suspect to be apprehended. But what we really needed was for the public to come to us immediately to let us know who the suspect was, so that we could get him off the streets as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clark also said he had met with the two girls and their parents and that the children were getting help for their trauma.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
