NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- There's a new push Saturday to get weapons off the streets of New York.
The Bronx District Attorney's Office and the New York Yankees are teaming up for a gun buyback event with an extra incentive.
"I was able to secure 75 iPads that I plan to give to the first 75 people... The Yankees called me on Monday morning and they told me that they will match the donation that I received of the 75 iPads," said Bronx DA Darcel Clark.
