Woman Killed at Montclair YMCA

Yesterday evening, while her 4-year-old son was in a Montclair YMCA's Kinderswim program, 31-year-old Monica Paul was fatally shot multiple times in the observation room with her 11-year-old daughter watching. No children were harmed. Police believe the children's father, Kenneth Duckett, is the shooter while a friend waited in a car for the getaway.

    "No children were harmed."



    Really? I'm pretty sure there's some severe psychological damage from watching your mommy get shot by your daddy.

    Maybe she should have been more careful about who she was a babymama for.

    See I told you white people do strange things. It's not just an inner city thing.

    It wouldn't be a proper Gothamist post if it didn't have a typo in it.

    why even bother with a getaway car? if you're the estranged father, you're always going to be suspect #1.

    WHAT A DUMB FUCK you are going to kill some one with your daughter watching and in a public place. Wow I could understand not liking your spouse but what about your kids. Your daugher will most def have daddy issues and and your son will grow up with out a mom or a dad good job.
