It is unclear if Swift was home at the time of the shootings. DailyMail.com has reached out to Swift’s publicist for comment.

In recent years, the Shake It Off singer bought up four adjoining properties worth $50million on Franklin Street and began a massive renovation project combining them into one compound.

The combined size of all four properties is 18,653 square feet. 

In August 2018, Swift went into contract on a townhouse and a second-floor apartment in the neighboring building, paying $18million and $9.75million respectively.

In 2014 she bought the penthouse in the same apartment building for $19.95million. 

Tribeca, one of the trendiest and wealthiest neighborhoods in New York City, has been hit hard by looters in recent months after business owners boarded up their stores and shops amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Looters ransacked upscale shops in the area in the days and weeks following the May 25 police-involved death of George Floyd, which touched off riots in major cities nationwide. 

‘It’s really concerning to see two gun-related crimes happen at the same place within a month,’ a local witness told the Post.

‘It’s a family neighborhood, and I choose safety over access to fancy sneakers every time.’

According to police, four shots were fired on Sunday, though there were no injuries.

‘Suddenly we heard four shots and I was freaked out,’ a waiter at the nearby Tamarind Tribeca restaurant on Hudson Street told the Post.

‘I saw people at the scene run. They look scared and jumped into a car.’

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
