Hasidic Jew shot once in Brooklyn during robbery attempt
A 25-year-old Orthodox Jew shot was shot in Brooklyn early today during a robbery attempt, police sources said.
Burech Halberstam, son of Rabbi Zalman Halberstam, is in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital after he was shot once in the stomach.
The shooting took place around 12:30 a.m. on South Ninth Street in Williamsburg when Halberstam was approached by two men, believed to be either black or Hispanic.
Police said one of them pulled out a gun and shot Halberstam once in the stomach.
A witness followed the van, with the gunman on board, and at one point, one of them pulled out a gun and made treats, causing the man to back off the pursuit.
The witness continued to follow from a distance and the perps jumped out of the van on Jefferson Avenue in Bed-Stuy, sources said.
The van is later found on Jefferson Avenue, a vehicle cops said is a rental.
No arrests have been made.
