NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jason Kish, a Staten Island man, accused of shooting a Jewish father and his 7-year-old son with a BB gun was released without bond on Wednesday, December 7, disappointing prosecutors and infuriating the boy's mother.
A spokesman for the Staten Island district attorney stated that Kish, 25, was charged with attempted felony assault as an anti-Semitic hate crime but because neither victim was severely injured, a court was unable to set bail under the state's criminal justice reform statutes, as reported by NY DailyNews. Alexander Klein and his father Isaac Klein, 32, were allegedly the targets of Kish's drive-by attack on the Island Kosher supermarket on Victory Boulevard in Castleton Corners on Sunday, December 4. Cops said that while Klein and his son were both sporting yarmulkes, the man shot them with a BB gun that fired gel-like pellets. Alexander received a grazing wound to the ear and Isaac was struck in the chest.
