New York: 12 years in prison for shooting Hashomrim

Satisfaction of Hashomrim organization of Boro Park: on Friday, New York Court sentenced David Flores, who shot and wounded four members of 'Hashomrim', to 12 years in prison.

The volunteers tried to capture the man, David Flores, in his thirties, but he pulled out a gun and shot one of the members of Hashomrim, who required a series of surgeries.

The shooter pleaded that he felt threatened, the volunteers tried to harm him and he fired to protect his life.

The judge was convinced and dismissed the charge of attempted murder but did not cancel the charge for carrying a weapon without a license.

After the acquittal of the non-Jew of assault, City Councilman David Greenfield sent a letter to the Justice and demanded the extraction penalty for Flores, accused of possessing weapons without a permit in a public place.
