WATERVLIET, N.Y. (WRGB) — The investigation into Tuesday’s First Avenue has revealed new information. The Watervliet Police Department told CBS6’s Anthony Krolikowski that the incident is gang-related.
Video originally shared by Sidewinder Photography on Facebook that has since been taken down showed the male victim enter a vehicle parked outside his Watervliet home. Moments later an SUV drove by on First Avenue and a passenger fired a gun. Officials described the gun as an AK-style rifle.
“We believe this was an isolated, targeted incident that took place, stemming from gang violence.

Not sure of his status at this point. He may have been released by now.”…
