Guns were ablaze - but it was not a warzone, it was Bayside, Queens over the weekend.
The home on the corner of 38th Avenue and 209th Street was occupied by squatters for about two years now. They have out-of-state plates and some don't even live in New York, they were just renting out the place on Airbnb, but residents angry about last weekend's shooting gathered on the block to demand a solution.
Joseph Carollo, the former owner showed up, but he says he sold the place to the bank four years ago, and the property has been in foreclosure ever since.
