The suspect in the Bronx, New York, shooting that injured one man and sent two siblings scrambling for cover was taken into custody at 6 a.m. Friday morning in upper Manhattan. Michael Lopez, 27, has been charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and other charges in connection with the shooting, police sources said. Lopez had previously been released on parole after serving two years in state prison for shooting a man -- and nearly killing him -- in Harlem. Detectives said they had a tentative identification and were working on locating him this week. On June 17 at around 6:44 p.m., a 24-year-old male victim was shot in the back and both legs in front of 1551 Sheridan Avenue, according to police. The suspect opened fire inches from a 10-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother, police said. Neither child was injured.
