Family homicide at 501 Park Place last night

wasn't there another samurai sword murder in crown heights within the past few years?

who's gonna tell the reporter that it happened in crown heights, not prospect heights?

So firstly, so sad. Mental illness, when uncared for, hurts not only that individual but so many others.

Secondly, I live on Park near Classon as well. Of course I got emails from my mom and mother-in-law. It reminded me immediately of something that happened a few weeks ago. The neighbors upstairs are not always so...nice...to one another. I don't mean just screaming, but throwing things, screams, things breaking, etc. In the past, the girl across the hall would go over and take the woman in to keep her safe but the girl has since moved away.

A few weeks ago they were at it -- and it was really scary from my spot downstairs. I know everyone fights, but this was scary. I went up the stairs when it sounded like the door was open, but when I got 3/4 of the way up the door slammed. I don't know them, so I didn't want to try to get in the middle of it with a huge guy so I called 911. They sent the police over...75 MINUTES LATER. Now, I know that there are lots of other things going on in the area, but this was like 11am on a Thursday, not a busy Friday night. Everyone was alive and the man had left the house by the time the police came, but it freaked me out to think...what if things hadn't been ok? Over an hour later is way too late to do much good. Scary.

The New York Times and the Daily News both call the location of this murder Prospect Heights. Is the Brookynian's opinion simply irrelevant?

Yet another tragedy stemming from untreated mental illness.

This is a very sad story for many reasons and all people on this board can do is nitpick about neighborhood boundaries? Pathetic.
