Schools are closed as a safety precaution as a manhunt is underway in Westchester County, New York, for a man believed to have killed one and wounded two in a shooting Monday.
NBC New York identified the man as 40-year-old Fernando Jimenez. He is considered “armed and dangerous” and law enforcement is asking anyone who sees him or may know of his whereabouts to call 911.
Two of the three individuals allegedly targeted by Jimenez were children. The shooting occurred shortly after 11:30 p.m. Monday.
The Times-Union noted, “State Police said Fernando Jimenez, 40, was last seen in the area around Peekskill Hollow Road.”
Jimenez is “approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 170 pounds, and was wearing black sweatpants and a grey sweatshirt at the time of the incident.”
Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New York the No. 2 state in the Union for gun control strictness.
