Police say a person of interest is in custody after bullets rang out inside of a Fordham building Monday morning.
Investigators say officers responded to a shooting at 2700 Jerome Avenue at around 1:21 a.m.
There they found a 34-year-old woman with a graze wound on her left ear. She was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and is expected to be ok.
Police sources tell News 12 the shooting followed a domestic dispute. This comes as neighbors claim the victim and the attacker were a couple.
Video from the scene shows the victim wheeled out by EMS, as neighbors stood outside of the building with tears in their eyes, hugging one another.
Moments later a man is seen walked out of the building in handcuffs by police. He is heard yelling to someone at the building's doorsteps, “relax, please.”
Neighbors who asked News 12 to remain anonymous, out of fear for their safety, say the alleged shooter has terrorized tenants before.
"It's just a bad experience. Like he just thinks he is tough. He threatens people and like he always gets into stuff with females," said the neighbor.
Police say the investigation still continues, investigators say the person of interest has not been charged at this time.
