Pol calls for added security after youngster finds gun in Coney sand
One local pol is calling on the New York City Parks Department to step up its game after a 10-year-old girl got her hands on a loaded handgun at the Coney Island shore on Monday, August 11.
“Hearing that a child came across a loaded handgun while simply playing in the sand was shocking and concerning to say the least,” said Councilmember Mark Treyger, urging the department to provide additional Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) officers.
According to Treyger, the child was walking along the Coney Island shore near West 19th Street with her mother when she came across a 9 mm, which was loaded with both sand and a bullet.
