16-Year-Old Shot to Back of the Head in East New York as Shootings Continue to Climb

 





A 16-year-old teenager is in critical condition after he and two others were ambushed by a gunman in Brooklyn's East New York section last night.

Police say a gunman approached the three as they were seated in a car at the intersection of Dumont and Drew Street when the gunman opened fire at about 2:20 am. Two other males seated with the 16-year-old were also shot one of whom remains in critical condition.

NYPD: Subway "Shovings" May Be an Initiation Right by City's Gangs

Police in New York City are perplexed by a rash of subway "shovings" (people shoved to the tracks in front of oncoming trains) over the past several months. Today another incident occurred where a man was shoved to the tracks in Lower Manhattan.

If the call had originally come in as an EDP the officers arriving would have been more on their guard for potential violence.

If the call had come in the correct context and proper protocal a...
