Charles Payne, Fox Business host, shares that his 39-year-old niece was hit by a stray bullet during a shooting in Harlem.

Fox Business anchor Charles Payne revealed on-air that his niece, Keisha Williams, was struck by a stray bullet in a shooting in Harlem earlier this month. The incident occurred while Williams was attending a sidewalk memorial service for a friend’s son who had passed away.

Payne, visibly shaken, described the chaotic scene as masked shooters opened fire, causing damage to nearby buildings. Williams and another woman were hit by the gunfire, with both being unintended targets. Thankfully, they were taken to the hospital in stable condition, although Williams required extensive surgery to treat her wounds.

The shooting has left Payne reflecting on the state of the country, highlighting the growing divide between those who live in safety and those who are exposed to violence and crime. He expressed shock at the extent of gang activity in his neighborhood, emphasizing the need for change and unity.

As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. Payne’s appearance on “Fox & Friends” to discuss an upcoming campaign rally in the South Bronx took a somber turn as he called for attention to the ongoing violence in Harlem. He expressed hope that President Trump, who was planning to visit the Bronx, would also consider visiting Harlem to address the issues affecting the community.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by many in urban areas and the urgent need for solutions to address the root causes of violence and crime.
