On Sunday, May 19, at 4:45 p.m., Rabbi Schaye Schonbrun was driving home with his wife Malka from visiting their grandchildren in West Hempstead. As their car proceeded slowly south along Union Turnpike between Queens Blvd. and Park Lane, suddenly the driver’s side window violently exploded, spraying hundreds of glass shards over the couple and all over the car’s interior. Despite the shock, Rabbi Schonbrun kept driving, while noticing an obvious bullet hole in the remnants of the shattered window. It is suspected that the shot was fired at random from a window on the east side of Union Turnpike. An investigation is ongoing. Thank G-d, the couple were not physically harmed.
