NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa invited Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to match the $20,000 reward the Guardian Angels offered in the aftermath of a mass shooting that happened in Queens on Saturday, according to the New York Post.
"Information has been difficult to get, as the community is in fear of gang warfare," Sliwa reportedly said. "Working with AOC in this bipartisan way can help to resolve this horrible crime."
Sliwa, who founded the Guardian Angels in the late 1970s, said support from Ocasio-Cortez "would be significant, especially in light of today's National Night of Out, which honors the cooperation of the police and the community."
His volunteer organization offered the money in the wake of the shooting at 37th Avenue and 99th Street in Corona that wounded 10 people.
Police said eight men and two women between the ages of 19 and 72 were injured in the shooting. but were in stable condition. No arrests have been made.
