FIT Students Busted For Drug Dealing Get Probation
On Friday night, three young women were shot while sitting on a stoop in Flatbush on Friday night. Witnesses say that the gunman was riding a bicycle: He got off when opened fire around 10PM, aiming at two men. He missed the men, but ended up hitting the three women. Then he got on his bike again, heading towards Flatbush Avenue.
The three friends were sitting outside 91 East 21st Street, near Caton Avenue. Police did not believe the women were the target. The victims, ages 17, 18 and 19, were shot in the chest, but all are at Kings County Hospital in stable condition.
The 17-year-old victim's mother Jazmin King said the teens, who recently graduated high school, were "in the wrong place at the wrong time." Rozanne Blucher, the mother of the 18-year-old victim, said, "My daughter didn't even know she was hit. She just felt the heat and looked down and saw the blood." She added, "I want them to catch him, lock him up and throw away the key."
No arrests have been made yet.

man I once accidentally got off the q on this neighborhood and was like "where are the white people"? Black people looked me up and down when I was waiting at the bus stop all night. Fucking scary. Who knew that such a shit neighborhood was just a skip away from park slope
you were waiting at a bus stop "all night"?
yes, buses run one per hour at night if you're lucky.
weekends are worse.
I suggest getting lost in the daytime.
another reason thugs need shooting lessons. always missing their targets. its always safer to be intended victim in the hood than everyone else around him.
yeah. if there were no white people there, it must have been a "shit neighborhood." really good point. ignorant fuck.
ummm it's a shitty neighborhood cause someone riding a bicycle can shoot 3 people. Seriously, go to that neighborhood, be white and just stand on the street for an hour and see how many black people give you the once over up and down thinking to themselves "should I rob this guy?"
Damn...I know for a fact that all white people aren't this stupid. At least the ones I work with aren't. That's too bad.
Mybe the shooter should have said, "Smile so's I can see you," to his intended victims.
Drive-by shooting on a bicycle?? NOW THAT'S GETO!! Please, you P.C. idiots, when 's the last time a white guy did that. Really now.
Sounds like Psycho who was at work in Clinton Hill a couple of weeks ago. Guess he didn't get caught.
Hey racist piece of shit why don't you stfu. I am white and live in this neighborhood and it is no where near ghetto. The majority of the neighborhood is middle class families from the Caribbean. My apartment is huge and cheap and I have never once been threatened or discriminated against. In all my years in Brooklyn I have never before been in such a friendly apartment building. Stay in Park Slope with your fucking lame yuppie crowd. I would like my neighborhood to remain spoiled asshole free.
11:54 - What about the White guys who drove around Louisana with nooses outside there pick-ups. Being white is no guarantee for being decent.
