Helicopter, sirens over EP/Washington?

Anybody know what's up?

I also saw it hovering, but for what it is worth, there is nothing going on nearby on Gothamist.

yet?

i saw what looked like a black helicopter circling around from about 8 to 9 this morning (weds, 6/15). is that what you're talking about? from where i was i couldn't make out any markings, nypd or otherwise.

They hovered for a long time! I checked my scanner and I didn't hear anything unusual.

what kind of scanner do you have ... or even better what would you recommend to use in the area?

It's called Scanner Radio app, for Android. It's free.

This thread caused me to visit gothamist again, where I saw this completely unrelated incident:

Shooting | Victim Located In The Basement Has Been shot. The Victim Is Reporting He Heard An Argument And A Shot Was Fired From The Floor Above Striking him. Pct investigating. Brooklyn, NY | 6/15/2011 3:46 p.m.

I wish to go on record that it would suck to be shot through the ceiling.
