New York GOP candidate for governor Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. said that the crime crisis in New York is hitting "close to home" after two people were shot just outside his house on Sunday afternoon.
Suffolk County police tell Fox News the shooting happened around 2:20 p.m. on Sunday in Shirley on Long Island. In a statement, Zeldin said that his two 16-year-old daughters were inside the home alone doing homework when shots were fired just outside his Long Island home.
The police department said that the incident is "unrelated to the residents of the house." Zeldin had just departed the Bronx Columbus Day Parade in Morris Park when the shooting happened, and said that his daughters locked themselves in a bathroom and called 911.
