Shots fired?

Sounded like someone squeezed off a few 22LR's, from the Prospect Heights direction. Several police cars headed that way.

It was in the basketball courts next to Elijah Stroud Playground where there was a basketball tournament organized by Music is Life Inc (?) and sponsored by Half Court Sports Bar (Washington and Park). Someone was shot in the face. There are a lot of Police, Fire and EMTs on scene.

Shooting

Washington Ave & Sterling Pl

Brooklyn, NY

7/30/2011 4:46 p.m.

On my way back from Franklin Park (7:10 PM), I walked by a police supervisor (aka white shirt) who was going into Teddy's on Washington to get some food.

He stated the individual is expected to live.

It sounded like a .22, which is definitely what you want to get shot in the head with if you want a chance to live.

On the other hand .22 slugs have been known to bounce around inside the skull wreaking havoc rather than exiting cleanly.

I am not certain I would want to be kept alive with a serious TBI.

I wish him well in his recovery.

...If he is lucky, he will get to go to Rusk.

Sterio5--wish you'd respond to questions about why you are so interested in crime in the neighborhood. It is starting to creep me out.

some people are into it. i know this one creepy dude poster from another site for over a decade, he freaks the hell out of me, he talks about serial killers and loves looking at dead peoples pics etc.. and he works in a slaughter house..........

why shouldn't i be interested in about crimes in my surroundings ?? are u good looking.? i ony reply to cute chicks by the ay

Because, as others have pointed out, all you have ever posted about is crime. And, based on that and your last post, I now know that you are creepy.

you two get a room .

Thanks for your support, Armchair.

first of all im not a journalist. lol and second of all that second warning is too long to read. and third of all ima just stop posting here since u guys have a problem with me asking for info on crimes that happen around the way..

smh

The Prospect Heights Patch article linked above seems wrong. They say a 27-year-old was shot and I believe it's been confirmed a 15-year-old was shot.

Is there any confirmed link between the basketball tournament and the shooting or did they just happen at the same time?

This seems like a big deal - not the kind of thread that should degenerate into personal accusations.

the youngsters are doing most of the shooting in nyc..lolol smh these yutes are brutal
