2 hurt in shooting in Chappaqua, near home of Hillary and Bill Clinton
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. — Two people are hospitalized and one person is in police custody after gunfire erupted at a deli in Chappaqua, reports CBS New York.
The shooting occurred just before 8 a.m. Monday at Lange’s Little Store & Delicatessen, less than a mile from the home where Democratic candidate for president Hillary Clinton lives with her husband, former president Bill Clinton.
Bullet holes could be seen in the store’s front glass door and police were seen looking in the trunk of a red car in a parking lot across the street as part of the investigation.
Two people suffered gunshot wounds and are being treated at Westchester Medical Center, police said. Both victims are expected to survive.
Police said at least one of the victims may have known the suspect, who has been identified as 49-year-old Chao Hengjun of Tuckahoe. Police have not yet released the motive.
One Chappaqua resident told CBS New York he thought of his famous neighbors when he heard the gunshots.
“That was kind of in the back of mind when I went out the door to see what was going on because President Clinton frequents Lange’s when he’s in town,” said Richard Meyer. “That part of it was obviously very scary.”
King Street in Chappaqua, where the deli is located, remains closed as police investigate.
