VIDEO: Harlem Dog Walker Takes Out Gun and Starts Shooting

MANHATTAN — A dog walker with two pooches in tow pulled out his gun on a Harlem street in broad daylight and opened fire Monday, police said.

The man, who can be seen with his canine companions in police video, was walking past 303 E. 111 St., near Second Avenue, when he paused and started shooting at someone, NYPD officials said.

His dogs cower as he shoots over their heads before he leads them running back toward the direction they came from.

There were no reported injuries, police said.

It wasn't immediately clear who the suspect was shooting at or why.

The suspect wore a large green jacket with white headphones atop a baseball cap, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
