There’s a tradition in the hood – to shoot guns in the air to celebrate the New Year. Yesterday, MTO News has learned that a group of gang members shot more than 1,000 machine gun bullets into the air in the projects – to ring in the New Year.
And the gang members live-streamed their New Year’s Eve celebration on Instagram Live, MTO News has learned.
The incident occurred in San Juan, Puerto Rico – and according to social media reports – the gang members doing the shooting have ties to New York City.
