Police are investigating a shooting near the Upper Manhattan home of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Schools Chancellor David Banks, sources told The Post.
Wright and Banks were not hurt in the 4:15 a.m. incident and are not thought to be the intended targets, police sources added.
Cops recovered a shell casing a block away from the home near the corner of West 143rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue, and took a “person of interest” into custody, the sources said.
Wright, 52, heard the shots and her detail notified the NYPD, the sources said.
The incident was caught on cameras at the home, which Wright is believed to share with the chancellor.
There were no injuries or property damage reported, the sources said.
The NYPD did not immediately have information regarding the incident.
The gunplay occurred as shooting incidents were down 21% in 2023, to 148 from 187 incidents as compared to the same time last year through March 5, NYPD data show.
