Baruch Halberstam, 25, was outside his home on South Ninth Street in Williamsburg on Aug. 10 when Jaquan Vaughn, armed with a gun, and another thug allegedly approached him and demanded money.
Halberstam, a father of four, fought back and was shot once in the stomach during the struggle. He remains hospitalized in stable condition from his wounds.
Vaughn and an accomplice swiped the paltry sum and sped off in a white van, sources said.
A witness gave a description of the vehicle to cops, who later found it. Officials then lifted a print off the van and allegedly traced it to Vaughn, who had been on parole for robbery.
As was reported first by Vos Iz Neias, The suspect was arrested Friday and confessed to shooting and robbing Halberstam.
Y R theseanimals ever released? U alwayshear on a shooter “he was out on parole”
Keep the animals locked up,,, not Rubashkin,,
A twisted justice system
and why is this con being called an ex-con??????
There is no such a thing as an ex-con. Once a con always a con.
It was Shomrim /WSPU that found the vehicle not the cops.
Stop & frisk is a must continue, who knows how many more we can catch in the future by having their finger print in the system
#1 you are so right. They really believe these thugs that on parole they’ll behave like babies.
It Should be noted that Williamsburg Shomrim where the first at the scene the evening of the shooting, and they were responsible for locating the vehicle used in committing the crime if not for Williamsburg Shomrim there wouldn’t be info for the NYPD to work with they got the plate and as well the van what gave them the info to trace it back to the ppl responsible so the NYPD did more a less there job and with the great info of the Williamsburg Shomrim members that put there lives on the line Williamsburg Shomrim Coordinator Yanky Itzkowitz keep up your great work and be happy you where the one in command you did great.
I think there is one thing everyone can learn from this and the Robinson shooting. If someone points a gun at you, GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT! And be happy you have your life.
Ok. With such advice like post number 6 we will send people the following message: come and rob us, we won’t fight back, we Jews are a easy prey.
I don’t know from where the NY Post knows that Halbershtam was fighting back? It makes no sence.
How about this repeat offender gets shot with only $5 worth of ammunition instead of prison? With 9MM costing about $0.25 lately, it’s only 20 rounds!
Which judge is gonna let this beast out in a few years. That is the judge that we need to focus on and to publicize.
Haven’t you ever heard the saying “Never bring a knife to a gun fight”?
When it is gun vs hands give them what they want.
