Joe Masseria runs into a store at 82 Second Avenue as gunmen shoot at him and into the crowd
When two armed men rushed Joe Masseria outside his apartment at 80 Second Avenue on August 9, 1922, he ducked into a store at no. 82. The gunmen fired through the storefront window and into the interior, then escaped by car on East 5th Street, firing into a crowd that left six people wounded. Masseria was unhurt, and police found him upstairs afterward.
