NEW YORK (AP) — A man accused of killing an 86-year-old and injuring three other people in a series of apparently random shootings while riding a scooter in New York City has been arraigned on charges including murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors say Thomas Abreu was arraigned Monday in a hospital in five shootings that occurred in Queens over about 10 minutes Saturday. Family members say 86-year-old Hamod Saeidi was shot and killed as he was walking to a mosque. An additional victim was shot and injured in Brooklyn. Abreu did not enter a plea. His attorney had no immediate comment. Police have said they are not sure what the motive for the attack was.
