New York congressman and Republican candidate for governor Lee Zeldin says his family is safe after two people were shot outside his Long Island home on Sunday.
Zeldin said in a statement that he does not know the identities of the two people who were shot but that they were found under his porch and in the bushes in front of his home in Shirley, New York. The congressman and his wife were not at home at the time of the shooting but their teenager daughters were in the home and heard gunshots and screaming, he said in the statement released by his office.
