Yesterday afternoon at around 5 PM we responded to 74 Greenridge to a reported robbery/shooting that had allegedly occurred around the corner on Linda Ave. Due to inconsistencies in the robbery story, it was determined to be a false report. The victim, 22 year old Carlton Brown, had suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder and his girlfriend Elena Sannella was on scene as well but, it was determined that the incident had occurred inside 74 Greenridge. Investigation revealed that Ms. Sannella had shot her boyfriend inside the house while he was showing her the gun. The gun was an illegally possessed 22 caliber handgun which has been recovered.
Mr. Brown was still at the Westchester Medical Center last night being treated. The wound was not life threatening.
Ms. Sannella has been charged with Assault 2, Reckless Endangerment, Criminal Possession of a weapon, and Falsely Reporting an incident. It is expected that Mr. Brown will be charged as well upon release from the hospital.
She will be arraigned in White Plains City Court today.
(WPCNR notes from independently gathered information from sources, that the young woman is a student of White Plains High School and was engaged to Mr. Brown. Persons who know the couple said the incident was not the result of a quarrel or dispute or any violent interchange.)
On the Lundin matter:
Captain (Paul) Lundin has announced his retirement. We will be adjusting personnel to compensate for his absence. Lt. Christopher will be handling the CBD at this time.
On the Ferris Avenue shooting:

The investigation is continuing in the Ferris Avenue case. The victim is reluctant, as are the witnesses.
