    apparently there was a building collapse and fire? http://gothamist.com/2008/05/19/extra_extra_886.php

    Building collapse was Monday night and wasn't so much of a collapse as it was a continuation of a slow falling-down process that started a year ago. Most of the front is already off the building from the first collapse which was major. Its hard to tell what more happened in this one.

    As far as the shooting, one boy (man) shot another in the arm at or near the apartment buildings on the corner of Prospect and Nostrand on Saturday afternoon. I was told the shooter took off running down the block with the gun in his hand allowing many people to see who he was. Not sure if the police apprehended as there seem to be few who were willing to talk.

    I came home around 11 pm Sunday night and saw emergency vehicles had basically blocked off Nostrand between Prospect and Park. There was police tape up. It is still up as of today, but now just blocking off that abandoned burned building, but also Secrets.

    That building has been unsafe now for over a year and should be knocked down. I hope no one gets hurt....
