BRONX DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE & NYPD GUN BUYBACK YIELDS 136 FIREARMS, MOSTLY HANDGUNS;

 

74 iPads Were Distributed at Event Last Saturday at Bronx Church

 District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that 136 guns—mostly revolvers and semi-automatic pistols—were turned in at the Bronx Gun Buyback held on Saturday October 24, 2020 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Seventy-four participants received an iPad, courtesy of the Bronx DA’s Office and the New York Yankees, as well as a cash card. 

 District Attorney Clark said, “I am pleased that there are 136 less firearms in homes or on the streets. This event was an opportunity for people to turn in guns, no questions asked, and receive cash AND a useful tool to help their children’s education. I thank the NYPD and Rev. Pierre-Andre Duvert, pastor of St. Luke’s, as well as the New York Yankees, for helping us with our goal of eradicating gun violence in the Bronx.”


DA Clark and NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey inspect the firearms including more than 90 revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, one assault rifle, two sawed-off shotguns, and assorted rifles, starter pistols and BB guns.
