Police said 41-year-old Giuseppe Canzani walked up to the 51-year-old victim's home in Ozone Park, Queens, and fired three shots, striking her twice.
OZONE PARK, Queens -- The man accused of knocking on the door of a Queens home and fatally shooting the mother of an NYPD officer when she opened it is due in court Thursday.
Seconds later, a man matching the police description of the gunman, who appeared to be holding a silver gun in his right hand, was captured casually walking from the home at the corner of 96th Street, before getting into the driver's seat of a black Chevy Traverse. Police said the victim is the mother of an NYPD officer, but don't believe the son's affiliation with the department was tied to the shooting.
