KEW GARDENS, Queens (WABC) -- Police say they busted a dozen violent gang members responsible for a variety of crimes on the streets of Queens.

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced the gang takedown on Thursday morning alongside NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Eric Adams.

Prosecutors said they would shoot at rival gang members indiscriminately throughout southeast Queens, putting innocent residents in danger at any time and any place.

The 33-count indictment announced Thursday morning is the result of a yearlong investigation.

The charges include attempted murder, weapons possession and conspiracy.

The suspects range in age from 18 to 26 years old and prosecutors say they operated in Laurelton, Springfield Gardens, Queens Village and the Baisley Park Houses.
