NEW YORK — Two people were shot Sunday outside the Long Island home of Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin.
According to Mr. Zeldin, his two 16-year-old twin daughters were at home doing homework during the incident while he and his wife were returning from the Bronx Columbus Day Parade in Morris Park.
“After my daughters heard the gunshots and the screaming, they ran upstairs, locked themselves in the bathroom and immediately called 911. They acted very swiftly and smartly every step of the way,” Mr. Zeldin said in a statement.
He said the two individuals who were shot have been transported to area hospitals.
