      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.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

      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.

      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.

      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.
