Triple shooting at 901 Washington Ave Weds AM

I'd have missed this but I had insomnia Wednesday morning and saw a couple of Tweets - then never saw another word about it.

According to WABC, three men were shot in their legs "at an apartment building on Carroll Street in Crown Heights", and the "injuries did not appear to be life-threatening."

Per the Tweets, it was in 901 Washington Avenue - same building that was the site of a terrible murder/suicide that killed four in 2005.

Is this building notorious for crime? Or just a coincidence?

2005 was a while ago.

I walk by that building pretty regularly, and have never seen folks hanging out in front of it, or other clues of it being a bad place to live. Here's a photo:
