The new Hell’s Angels clubhouse in the Bronx was shot up overnight by a group of unknown people on motorcycles hours after news reports announcing their move were published, police and reports said Friday.
Sometime around 10:35 p.m., police responded to the former American Legion Post building on Longstreet in Throggs Neck and found 14 shell casings littering the property, cops said.
They determined “several shots” were fired and the building was damaged but couldn’t provide further details.
The notorious biker gang just sold their longtime East Village headquarters back in March and only recently moved into the building, much to their neighbor’s chagrin, NBC News reported.
“Who wants to live next to them? They’re not called the angels from heaven or the community angels or the guardian angels,” Alejandro Coban told the outlet just hours before the shooting.
“No, they’re called Hells Angels!”
Both News 12 Bronx and NBC published stories about the move, and the neighbors’ grievances, hours before the shooting.
An email to the Angels wasn’t immediately returned.
