Residents in the Bronx neighbourhood where an 11-month-old was shot in the head last month say the recent spate of gun violence has left them fearful to leave their homes, as President Joe Biden arrived in New York to tour the NYPD headquarters and meet with city and state leaders to discuss ways to combat the spiralling crime.
At the My Place Family Restaurant in the Bronx, a few metres from where Catherine Ortiz was gravely wounded as she sat in a parked car with her mother, a television carries Mr Biden's speech on curbing the gun violence live. But no one is paying any attention to his remarks.
