Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a shooting at 104th Ave. and Remington St. in Queens, a bank robbery on Lexington Ave. and 45th St. in Manhattan, and a gas main break on Van Siclen Ave. in Brooklyn.

New York Shitty wonders about these Bed-Stuy guard dogs - they only have ten feet of leash and don't seem to have much food.
Idle speculation regarding police commissioner Ray Kelly's desire to run (or not run for mayor).
The driver, already convicted of the DUI killing of a flower girl and limo driver, pleaded guilty (without admitting guilt) for evidence tampering with DNA samples. He filled his mouth with the saliva of another witness. Ugh.
