Marks was arrested right near a school. News 12 spoke with a parent who wanted to remain anonymous, picking her child up from school. That mother said the situation was terrifying.
"It's frightening, you know? Your kids are in school, they're supposed to be in a safe space," she said.
The NYPD says they've made 913 gun arrests citywide so far this year.
