I hope it was no body's on that gun

The gun was found in Harlem River about 2 hrs ago; NYPD scuba divers found it. NYPD Harbor team departed 30 mins ago. The extraction from the car took about 30 mins - police said it was serious. The arrested person isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Eastbound traffic on 145th street bridge is still closed.
