Police
say a string of pellet gun shootings in Nassau and Suffolk counties may be
linked to social media.

<a href="https://longisland.news12.com/police-2-people-shot-at-with-pellet-gun-in-levittown">As News 12 has reported,</a> the airsoft gun shootings happened in both
counties and is an islandwide issue at this point.

However, in Levittown, people who live in
the neighborhood are pretty shaken up after
the latest incident on Monday.

In doorbell camera video, a car is seen pulling up to two men walking and someone shoots at them with what turned out to be a pellet gun.

The incident is one of four incidents that Nassau police are now investigating.

Suffolk police are also investigating two pellet gun shootings. One of the
shootings was this week at the Deer Park Tanger Outlets where a 12-year-old had
to be taken to the hospital because she was hit in the eye.

Police say they believe the
incidents could be linked to a nationwide TikTok challenge.

No
arrests have been made, and it's unclear if the Nassau incidents are connected
to the Suffolk incidents.

It's gonna cool down again in the 10 day. Let's talk about the bigger issue, which is going to be the rain tomorrow. So we do have cloudy skies all weekend, obviously a fog out there this morning too. So that's creating some visibility issues. But on Sunday, it is a steady rain for a good chunk of the day. So today is the pick out of the weekend. There'll be some peaks of sunshine this afternoon around lunch, but not much of it. Temperatures are in the mid ff maybe even upper fifties if we get enough sunshine, but I would not count on the sun. It's gonna be a possibility that we, you got a few breaks in the clouds, but most of the day is pretty cloudy. This is 5 p.m. the sun is already set and temperatures are still in the fifties. So you don't need the heavy winter jacket. Just a light jacket. Today will do dinner time is mainly dry, but after 89 o'clock, there could be some spritzes and stray showers. It's a all day full LG wash out on Sunday, light rain in the morning, check this out. Temperatures are in the fifties in the morning, that's above average for the afternoon at this point in the year. But we don't warm up on Sunday. It's gonna stay 50 all day with this very persistent, very steady and very damp rain that just sticks around until I'd say about six o'clock or so. So, if you have any brunch lunch, early dinner plans Sunday, I just don't see a lot of opportunity for dry time for you here. So we're gonna keep that in mind. Temperatures are not bad all the way through Monday. We're hanging out in the fifties. Today's high of 56 is the warmest that we've actually seen since mid November morning. Lows are in the forties, so no worries about frost. No worries about cold when you're stepping out the door. Tuesday morning, we're back down to 36. So that's kind of setting the stage for a cooler upcoming work week, 46 there, 43 on Wednesday and 42 on Thursday. It's not the coldest set we've seen, but it is definitely pretty chilly for that first night of Hanukkah. Expected to definitely feel like it is December, but we rebound a little bit next weekend with another chance for some rain. Just a little heads up on that. But the work week does look dry. Not that we want to talk about the work week on a Saturday, but that's how it's shaping up

Yeah, we've been telling everyone about these latest air soft gun shootings happening not only here in Nassau but Suffolk County as well. So this is really an island wide issue at this point, but people who live here in Levittown in this neighborhood, we're at the corner of Shotgun lane and gun lane say they're pretty shaken up over this latest incident that happened here earlier this week. Take a look at this video. This is doorbell camera video. You can see a car pull up to these two men who were walking and shoot at them with what turned out to be a pellet gun. It's just one of four incidents that Nassau police are now investigating. I'm like terrified if it's happening in broad daylight now. It's really scary to think about that that you could just be walking in the middle of the day not doing anything and someone attack you like that broad daylight. And this morning we've seen a few people walking around. They don't want to speak on camera, but they say, yeah, it's scary that it can happen in the, in daylight.
