That's more appropriate as the crime scene is closer to the three schools near the intersection of Washington/Classon/President than it would be to Medgar Evers.whynot_31 said:The DNA version is reporting proximity to Clara Barton High School, which is on Washington Ave:

CROWN HEIGHTS — Two teenagers were both shot in the leg near Clara Barton High School Thursday afternoon, according to law enforcement sources.
A 14-year-old girl and 18-year-old boy were hit near President Street and Franklin Avenue, one block block away from the school, at about 3:49 p.m., an FDNY spokesman said.
The girl was rushed to Kings County Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the FDNY and sources.
There was no information on where the 18 year old was taken, though his injuries were also considered non-life threatening.
It was not immediately clear if the teens were students at the school.

i'm on EP near franklin and since this shooting there have been a ton of sirens going down as well, even until now (5:50pm). Wondering if its still related to the shooting or other stuff going on. Hope this isn't a sign of warm days to come.

I don't envy the teachers at Clara Barton or Prospect Heights high schools tomorrow....

This is right where a few years ago some kids who were reported to be gang members started shooting at people from the roof of the building across the street in that picture. That was a big part of what precipitated an increased police presence in the area, which has since disappeared. Hopefully this prompts them to increase their presence in the area again.

As a result of the patrols by the 71st Pct, and the location of the Transit pct, the area seems to have lots of police around when I walk through it.
-
You still see cops wandering up from the transit precinct, but the presence of police generally has diminished since around 2013-2014.
-
I've noticed a decrease in the street level drug dealing since 2014.
...it isn't gone, but seems less blatant.
-
BTW, The Post is stating the police have a suspect in custody:

There are some cops out there this evening, which is reassuring.
-
There were cops out there around 12pm today too. A ton of them and police cars too. Did something else happen? I saw them and went the other way...

COMMUNITY PARTNER IN JUSTICE NOTIFICATION
Twenty-Five Alleged Gang Members Charged
With Conspiracy, Violent Crimes in Connection with Crown Heights Turf WarBrooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson today announced that 25 alleged members of the rival Lincoln Family and Bergen Family gangs have been charged in a 67-count indictment with conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, weapons possession and other charges in connection with eight separate shootings in Crown Heights that left six people injured and one teenager dead.
The District Attorney said that, according to the investigation, during the course of the conspiracy, between October 2013 and the present, the defendants allegedly agreed to commit crimes, including murder, assault and other violent acts to protect their turf. The defendants, who now range in age from 16 to 23, are members of rival street gangs operating primarily within the 77th precinct.
The violent acts charged in the conspiracy — which the defendants planned and shared on social media — include multiple alleged shootings by members of both gangs, including the January 2015 killing of 19-year-old Bergen Family member Jaquay (Queezy) Bennett on St. Marks Avenue in a retaliatory shooting by a Lincoln Family member.
In a March 2016 shooting, members of the Lincoln Family allegedly fired multiple shots at rivals as school was letting out at Clara Barton High School and the International High School in Prospect Heights, striking and injuring a Bergen Family member and a 13-year-old girl.
District Attorney Thompson said, “This indictment underscores the continuing commitment of this office and the NYPD to take back the streets of Brooklyn from mindless gang and gun violence that puts so many people at risk, including in this case an innocent 13-year-old girl.”

An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
Howdy, Stranger!
