1 Dead, 1 Injured in a Bronx Shooting

2008_08_bxsht.jpgA 20-year-old was killed while a 13-year-old was wounded during a shooting in the Morrisania section of the Bronx. People heard gunfire outside of 730 East 165th Street around 11:30 p.m.; a man told WCBS 2, "I'm on my way home and I hear a boom, boom, boom. It's not a common thing, but we're used to being careful." When police arrived, they found the two people shot. The 20-year-old was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene while the 13-year-old is in stable condition, with shots in the arm and thigh. No arrests have been made yet.

the bronx sucks, i'm glad i don't live there anymore.

"a man told WCBS 2, "I'm on my way home and I hear a boom, boom, boom."

Amazing. This 'witness' has definitely shed some light into this tragedy. Thank god for CBS 2

Did he go back to his room?

Conflicting reports are coming in. Someone told FOX 5 that he heard "Pow, Pow, Pow."

Film at eleven.

Fitting that they have such a nice zoo in a borough full of animals.

Sorry, the poors are killing each other like they're supposed to and what else?

Oh, wait: sorry, yes, tragic that this happened at this age. I believe they are not supposed to kill each other until they reach the 25-40 year-old range.

When they're young, they're supposed to be shooting cab drivers in the eye.

I see -- it's one of those silly human interest stories where some poors got it all wrong. Silly!
